: Thoughtful and considered … even if it is based on an American distro

A guy who works for the EU has proposed (in his spare time it seems - not in an official capacity) that Europe have its own Linux distro for European public sector use.

The plan is to base this distro on Fedora with KDE Plasma. I suppose Plasma is relatively similar to the Windows desktop, so it should be familiar for public sector employees.

Thoughts?

    I expect institutions and corporations to have an IT department that takes care of these things.

    You cannot apply a personal user logic to IT infrastructure of organizations. For such an organization Linux distro the users will never deal with the package manager or any directory outside of /home.
