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?

    Yes, of course Arch. But ypu’re still dodging my question. You were saying other distributions were close to Corpos compared to Debian. We weren’t talking about the benefits or drawbacks of specific distros

      I never said that. I said:

      it is as far from corporations as possible and it works

        And I want to know why you think something like Arch linux is “close to corporations” in comparison

          Go to ignore. You’re speaking with yourself and obviously are unable or unwilling to understand what I’m saying.

              i read their statement as :

              1. Debian is “as far from corporations as possible” …
              2. Other distros might be also “as far from corporations as possible” … yet we don’t care because what we say is :

              it is as far from corporations as possible and it works

                Possible, I still feel like it was used as a sort of USP for Debian and just wanted to know if theres something about other distros (apart from the obvious ones) that makes them in some way corpo controlled
