Can this become the European Union's own Linux Distribution?

A new community-led initiative called “EU OS” to develop a Linux distribution initiative looks like a positive development. It is specifically created to address the unique requirements of the European Union's (EU) public sector organizations. For me, this initiative stands out for its commitment to the EU's digital sovereignty, reducing reliance on external vendors, and creating a secure, independent digital ecosystem.

  • No please no. Isn't it also run by just one guy?

    The EU should just embrace OpenSuse, it's mature, solid and from Germany.

  • Relying on Redhat's Fedora is quite a blunder if they go forward with that choice.

    Redhat's already shown us plenty why we shouldn't trust them especially while they're currently still owned and controlled by IBM.

  • EU: So, what FLOSS operating system should we adopt on a union-wide level?

    Developer 1: Our distro focuses on system- and network-level security

    Dev 2: Ours offers customisable user interfaces

    Dev 3: We built our own package manager

    Dev 4: We have immutable system images

    EU: Uh...

    Monorail pitchman: Ours is called "EU OS".

    EU: Well, that makes our choice all the easier.
