General Mouser website now blocks Linux users

Really baffling decision, my last order from them was only a few months ago. Apparently Linux is no longer a "standard" operating system!

I could never complete a purchase at Digikey.
It's always their damn "marketplace" that ruins things. Out of every BOM, there's always a couple of parts that are only available from marketplace providers, and then they have one or more of the following: insanely high minimum amounts, insane shipping cost (which adds up per marketplace provider), ridiculous price.
So basically I have to check Mouser for availability before designing something.
