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.

EU: So, what FLOSS operating system should we adopt on a union-wide level?

Developer 1: Our distro focuses on system- and network-level security

Dev 2: Ours offers customisable user interfaces

Dev 3: We built our own package manager

Dev 4: We have immutable system images

EU: Uh...

Monorail pitchman: Ours is called "EU OS".

EU: Well, that makes our choice all the easier.
