It’s only a proof of concept at the moment and I don’t know if it will see mass adoption but it’s a step in the right direction to ending reliance on US-based Big Tech.

    Depending on who the group is … it is good to first do a thorough check on who the group is … it can just as likely be a group of scam artists that are riding on some nationalism band wagon happening around the world these days.

      They could, and if I was an EU government entity, I would do my homework on what they were offering, even if they were acting 100% in good faith.

      However, helping governments get away from the clutches of the likes of Apple and Microsoft seems like a noble goal, and if this idea spurs that change regardless of the adoption of this distro, I think it will have been a net positive.

        Government is only in the clutches of MS because MS bribes officials to maintain their cancerous software as a staple everywhere in Europe… Hungary is one of a few quite famous cases of bribery.

        There’s no depth to my loathing of MS and its illegal and anti-competitive practices.
