So apparently this is one person's project, but the branding makes it seem like it's some kind of official European Union initiative.

Also, I don't see what problem a national Linux distribution would solve. It would either duplicate the effort of a "normal" Linux distribution, or more likely, it would be just a rebrand of an existing distro.

Sounds like one guy trying to benefit from the current instability by rebranding Fedora.

Reboost plz: In light of increased uncertainty on the reliability on the US, European democracies should strengthen their strategic autonomy: this also includes autonomy from #Microsoft #Windows in the public and private sector.
