EU OS aims to free the European public sector desktop
Briefly

The EU OS project proposes an immutable KDE-based Linux distribution intended for European public sector organizations, advocating for straightforward deployment and management. It is not a new distro but rather a comprehensive planning website. The initiative, spearheaded by Dr. Robert Riemann of EDPS, aims to answer the needs of public bodies with hundreds of users. The project raises questions about using Fedora as the base OS amidst geopolitical tensions, reflecting on past efforts like Munich's LiMux and GendBuntu to inform this new approach.
