Regarding the implementation in the EU, in my understanding, the

only the more obscure OSs, with dev communities instead of single
legal entities behind them, may remain free). 'Client-side' in that
sense of course means your transfer encryption, e.g. PGP, remains
intact; your privacy nevertheless won't.
This sounds like it is only applicable to mobile devices.
In any case, there is a simple solution to that kind of OS-level
backdoor: the classic "paranoid" PGP setup where you keep your keys on
a separate, offline, air-gapped box and Internet-connected machines only
see your encrypted traffic.
I also highly doubt that Debian or Gentoo would ever tolerate such
malware in their distributions.
