No you are not liable. Liability is linked to a commercial activity because it is meant to protect consumers.

The article is very ambiguous in the way it describes the regulation. I recommended this one for more clarity : https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/eu-updates-pro...

Would windows or whatever host operating system be liable potentially for the programs running on it even if they are open sourced programs?

I would think they would be *if* said program was included with the system, which makes sense. The manufacturer cannot be responsible for user-supplied programs, but they surely must know what they include with their system upon install.
