This is dumb. Also the news is a month old and has already been discussed ad nauseam, including in this community.
Why is it dumb? I joined not too long ago and didn’t know that it was already discussed.
Feel free to read any of the other cross-posts listed under your post, but to summarize: it’s a one-man project trying to make a proof-of-concept, and it’s using an American base distribution (Fedora, which is owned by Red Hat which is owned by IBM).
Thank you for the explaination.
fedora-based
Hmmmmmm
I think it’s an interesting idea, but it’s just a concept right? And it’s intended for public sector use, rather than consumer use.
Average people who want to try a European Linux distro on their home computer could try Ubuntu (British) or OpenSUSE (German). Or whatever you like really. Debian is not really European but it is a global FOSS project so you could use that if you want.
My Linux experience is mainly with Debian and Ubuntu so I’m biased towards those I guess. Use what you like though.
Yes I think it is just a concept, how a Linux distribution for the public sector could look like.
this is NOT dumb. i think the heart is in the right place. EU DOES need a Linux distro for the public sector. i’d still recommend not using RHEL/Fedora.
We have OpenSUSE at home
OpenSUSE at home:
Yeah no thanks?
Nobody needs another distro. Europe should go with any popular Linux distro.
