AFAICT, this is *not* a &quot;European Union&#x27;s (EU) initiative for developing a new Linux distribution initiative&quot;.<p>This is:<p>- a &quot;*Community-led Proof-of-Concept* for a free Operating System for the EU public sector&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;eu-os.gitlab.io&#x2F;?ref=news.itsfoss.com#what-is-eu-os" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;eu-os.gitlab.io&#x2F;?ref=news.itsfoss.com#what-is-eu-os</a>),<p>- that community being led by a one person team (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;eu-os&#x2F;eu-os.gitlab.io&#x2F;-&#x2F;project_members" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;eu-os&#x2F;eu-os.gitlab.io&#x2F;-&#x2F;project_members</a>),<p>- and with only 4 commits in its repository (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;eu-os&#x2F;workspace-images&#x2F;eu-os-base-demo&#x2F;-&#x2F;commits&#x2F;main?ref_type=HEADS" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;eu-os&#x2F;workspace-images&#x2F;eu-os-base-demo&#x2F;-&#x2F;...</a>).<p>&quot;Can this Linux-powered operating system disrupt Windows&#x27; hold in the European Union?&quot;<p>Can a one-person PoC do that?<p>&quot;The European Union has its own Linux Distribution and it&#x27;s Called EU OS&quot;<p>I cannot find any link to any EU announcements on that subject.<p>IMO, that article is very naïve...
