"Linux" is just one of the many components Nest used to deliver its service. There's no evidence to suggest that it (or rather Google) would not have ended that service, had it been using any other operating system in place of that component, nor would it have altered the outcome. The moral of this story is, if you want to guarantee unrestricted utilisation of your own property, do not hand power of attorney for that property over to some profit-oriented service provider, who can and will terminate service when it no longer suits his financial objective. Use self-hosted solutions instead. This applies equally to Microsoft's Cloud services as it does to Google's, or any other. -- K. http://slated.org
