A new community-led initiative called “EU OS” to develop a Linux distribution initiative looks like a positive development. It is specifically created to address the unique requirements of the European Union's (EU) public sector organizations. For me, this initiative stands out for its commitment to the EU's digital sovereignty, reducing reliance on external vendors, and creating a secure, independent digital ecosystem.

As much as I like fedora, I'm on the suse side.

It should be based on suse because it is european. EU wants to push european it solutions. Fedora would be better than microsoft but it is both linux after all. Both can use kde and gnome. They are not so much different.

Moreover, BSI, Secunet and others already work with suse.

Edit: I should install opensuse myself to put my money where my mouth is. The difference between fedora and opensuse isn't too big for me anyway.

Are there suse based distros, like ublue? https:// osinside.github.io/kiwi/overview.html

https://kalpadesktop.org/ is basend on opensuse MicroOS, a distro with atomic updates. this comes with KDE, there is also a version with gnome of which i forgot the name.

Thx but atomicity is not enough. Fedora with ostree has sharable images which neither nix nor opensuse has.

Nix is still too difficult for the "normal" end user
