inb4 “Linux already exists”: I thought that too… and this IS Linux:
“So far, EU OS is a Proof-of-Concept for the deployment of a Fedora-based Linux operating system with a KDE Plasma desktop environment and bootable container technology in a typical public sector organisation.”
If the people behind euos would actually care, they wouldn’t use Fedora as the base as its by Red Hat, an American Company. Instead they should built on top of Suse or other European Linux Distributions.
And it would be good if he would heed that feedback and rely on OpenMandriva or OpenSuse as a base and not Fedora (even though I really love their atomic desktops.)
Does he though? He states that having a governing body behind a chosen distro would be key. NEITHER FEDORA or OpenSuse have it and have a foundation behind it; YET he chose Fedora just because Fedora can utilise OSTree? Isn’t the US backing a way more crucial point than having that tech?
Ok, but why Fedora (main maintainer is Red Hat which is American and has ties to IBM) and not OpenSUSE (German). Unless most of their devs are Fedora users …

it’s in the FAQ. he gets this feedback a lot.

He elaborates on this topic in this talk. Slides of the presentation can be found here

Oh yeah, good point.
I was about to say just that. Why fedora?
As a POC isn’t that bad. I don’t think any government agency will really use it as is.
What is there actually to proof?
From the title
OpenSuse exists. Boom, PoC done.
Yeah but OpenMandriva also exists and it’s French.
Forgive me, I wasn’t aware that Mandrake/Mandriva still exist.
