…so an Ansible Playbook deploying essentially OpenDesk (also developed for german administrative purposes)?

I get the idea, but it’s like there’s hardly any research behind it. You can “tailor” any installation already with a modicum of skill and a solution that’s independent of the underlying distribution will inevitably have to make compromises that turn it into just another meta distro.

How about opensuse? Why reinvent the wheel again?

Unfortunately, these nerds (in the negative sense) make it often almost impossible to find “decent enough” stuff. Try finding any information about the “pretty good, but not unreasonably priced” bracket in almost any niche. Almost impossible. Unless audio equipment costs at least one kidney, it’s essentially worthless, instead of buying a sub 1000€ knife, honed by japanese virgins, you should better kill yourself, and denim that doesn’t require 400 elaborate steps to break in is literally worse than Hitler.

Another approach is to use 3-4 star reviews. These have a higher chance of being human and often contain common problems.

That’s actually the really sad story here.

Every “experimental” regime was either toppled (Chile) or had to align with the USSR (Cuba) to survive. There was never a real attempt at democratic socialist politics without interference from superpowers.
