How will this affect embedded os like freertos or vxworks? There are lightbulbs that have operating systems these days, am I going to have to show ID to turn on my light?

My guess would be these OS’s just wont do it and stop doing business in that state.

Lucky for you, you can just download them anyway.

My guess is also that these lawmakers dont care nor considered other OS’s than Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android.
