LET’S GO DEEEEBIAAAAAAAAAN!
Corollary from the article: if every major distro uses Red Hat tech, it’s a sign that there’s a lack of funding from other sources for the core OS development. The goal of an “EU OS” project should be to identify and push forward the yet-unexplored or resource-lacking areas of such development, with EU funds. To be a friendly competitor and collaborator to Red Hat. Not to rebrand whatever distro for local usage.
Exactly. Linux is often held high as an example of how to realize tech sovereignty. Most of it is repackaged work by Red Hat. That’s still a dependency. If the US made a law restricting export of source code, this would have immediate consequences to Linux use in Europe.
Its nice seeing a comparison of linuxes like this. Honestly it just seems to me that opensuse would make the best starting point. Government can fund filling holes and its pretty much the redhat of europe.
Interesting that the straightforward answer of “obviously open suse” isn’t it. I’d need to dig more into the technical restrictions they want to understand this situation better.
I’m surprised suse has jumped in and offered their expertise.
