EU OS: Which Linux Distribution fits Europe best?

Soon, the EU OS project celebrates its first anniversary. I want to seize the occasion (and your attention) before the Christmas holidays to share my personal view on the choice of the Linux distribution as a basis for EU OS. EU OS is so far a community-led initiative to offer a template solution for Linux on the Desktop deployments in corporate settings, specifically in the public sector.
Only few weeks ago, the EU OS collaborators tested together a fully functional Proof of Concept (PoC) with automatic provisioning of laptops and central user management. The documentation of this setup is to 90% complete and should be finalized in the coming weeks. This PoC relies on Fedora, which is the one aspect that triggered the most attention and criticism so far.

If you have thoughts or questions for him you can reply on his Mastodon post: Robert Riemann πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί (πŸ”œ#39c3): "#EU_OS: Which #Linux Distribution fits Europe bes…" - chaos.social

I hope this was an interesting read!

That was a good read! Thank you for sharing it, and nice touch including the snapshot of the table in the post. Very curious to see how Linux adoption in the EU’s public sectors proceeds.
