: Thoughtful and considered … even if it is based on an American distro

A guy who works for the EU has proposed (in his spare time it seems - not in an official capacity) that Europe have its own Linux distro for European public sector use.

The plan is to base this distro on Fedora with KDE Plasma. I suppose Plasma is relatively similar to the Windows desktop, so it should be familiar for public sector employees.

Thoughts?

    I’d rather have my tax euros pay them than pay microsoft. Granted, that money being used to employ devs to create a FOSS solution would be even better, but commercial Linux would already be a great first step in the right direction.
