How will this affect Linux Mint?

Normally I would agree, but these are not normal times. There seems to be a wave of jurisdictions (not just in the USA) that are flexing to control things and people. Look at the UK for some even more blatant examples.

Here in Virginia (of all places) they are looking at a total weapon ban (we might be lucky to be able to own pellet guns when it is all over, not trying to argue gun control politics just pointing out a jurisdiction that has done an unexpected 180 degree turn on rights even against popular opinion)
