It's probably worth saying to people that this doesn't appear to be associated with the EU in any way. More a suggestion from a single developer for something the EU could do.

That said, I really like it as an idea- paying for Windows is in a lot of cases a big "familiarity tax" that something like this could work around.

I like the idea of a resource-friendy OS variant that would serve as a common baseline for EU standard compliance.

Just because earlier attempts for something like this didn't succeed, it can find its niche.

If Microsoft can't find its backbone soon, it can lose significant market share in the EU leaving behind customers looking for something new to trust.

I have already said on a German forum that the idea is good in itself, but unfortunately the distribution does not fit in with the EU at all. Even though I use Fedora privately, it would be more appropriate to use Suse Enterprise or, as already mentioned here, Debian.

Let's wait and see if this is just a pipe dream.

I don't think building a distro is the best way to switch to Linux for the public sector.

The EU should test @SUSE, which is based in Germany or a community-based distro like #AlmaLinux.

Building a New Distro is, IMO, wasting ressources that can be used in training PEOPLE to use Linux and Implementation.
