Can this Linux-powered operating system disrupt Windows' hold in the European Union?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/36434036

A new community-led initiative called “EU OS” to develop a Linux distribution initiative looks like a positive development. It is specifically created to address the unique requirements of the European Union’s (EU) public sector organizations. For me, this initiative stands out for its commitment to the EU’s digital sovereignty, reducing reliance on external vendors, and creating a secure, independent digital ecosystem.

      No

      if something is EU focused then I suppose we could call it EU standard. That is: a standard among EU countries and no where else.

      This is bad. We need one single international standarrd and we have one.

        The EU standards are not set yet. They are open to change. If you feel they need to change, chime in to them.

        They are just selecting what they think is best

        Is the Euro bad because it’s only accepted within the Eurozone?

          I don’t know how is that related.

          Previously all European countries had their own currencies and the Euro unified the currency and created a standard among them, This very positive.

          With Linux its the opposite there is already organization working on the standardization and you want to disregard it and create your own.

          If you want an analogy, its like European countries have Euro but Italy started working on new standard for their country
