EU OS: Community-led Proof-of-Concept for a free OS for the EU public sector (eu-os.gitlab.io)

So apparently this is one person's project, but the branding makes it seem like it's some kind of official European Union initiative.

Also, I don't see what problem a national Linux distribution would solve. It would either duplicate the effort of a "normal" Linux distribution, or more likely, it would be just a rebrand of an existing distro.


Sounds like one guy trying to benefit from the current instability by rebranding Fedora.

Reboost plz: In light of increased uncertainty on the reliability on the US, European democracies should strengthen their strategic autonomy: this also includes autonomy from #Microsoft #Windows in the public and private sector.

https://eu-os.gitlab.io proposes to develop together a Community-led Proof-of-Concept for a free/libre replacement of Windows. Follow us on Mastodon and join the Matrix chat at https://matrix.to/#/#eu-os:kde.org to receive updates and help.

Why not just use and contribute to an existing distro like Fedora or Debian?
