It’s odd that they want to go with the American based Fedora instead of the German based openSUSE. Only thing I can figure is that this is yet another case of European Tech infighting?
The Register should get ahold of Robert Riemann and ask them.
Or just license SUSE Linux and you get all the professional support you need. I don’t understand why they’d want to roll their own thing when a European solution that ticks all the boxes exists.
Licensing SUSE would cost money and this guy wouldn’t end up in charge of it. If I was SUSE I’d run around offering EU Government entities, and I mean all of them right down to a town council, seriously steep discounts on licensing and simultaneously create an entire team tasked with supporting new government users.
Hell if there were any European Venture Capitalists they should be lining up around the block to invest in SUSE doing just that. Investing 10 Billion in SUSE to do that now could return 100 Billion or more in just a decade.
Sure but if the intent is to get away from American software companies, specifically Microsoft for Desktop OS, then why would you run Fedora when SUSE is literally right there?

Yep, was thinking the same thing. Was a Fedora user that migrated to Tumbleweed. Very satisfied.
It could be due to them liking Fedora better. We don’t need to kick off more distro wars over something that probably won’t affect most people.

Maybe they weighted the options and choose Fedora?
Fedora is a community project
Fedora is an American Community Project.
There are contributors from around the world, but only Nazi America gets to choose.
