It’s only a proof of concept at the moment and I don’t know if it will see mass adoption but it’s a step in the right direction to ending reliance on US-based Big Tech.

      Community-led Proof-of-Concept for a free Operating System for the EU public sector 🇪🇺

      So it’s made by the EU in the sense that the maintainers are likely citizens of the EU, I guess.

          Generally true when we’re talking about capitalism.

          That’s not necessarily true for FOSS projects, however, since money making isn’t necessarily their goal. Linus Torvalds doesn’t force you to watch an ad or sell off contributors’ data to get the privilege of using the Linux kernel, for example. Bazzite doesn’t sell IP addresses of people who download their distro to data aggregators.

          However, you should do your homework and check who is in charge of projects like these and note what changes they’re bringing.
