Is there a filter to block all these EU OS posts, please?
As I see it, it's hardly an open source project but just some malicious start up attempting to get funded by EU then flee off.
Show me your production ready OS, not your POC boot screens.
And perhaps properly name your product. Naming it after 'EU' is self-righteous. What comes next? Earth OS?
Strange project indeed. I had a small discussion recently https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/issues/13#note_2414881293
Malicious startups can't survive in the catalogue of the EU comission. In it there are certainly also commercial solutions, but mostly FOSS, OSS and FLOSS. The reason is to recover the sovereign from the US hegemony of the big companies in the web. Respect EU OS, there are in the focus several distros:
Arcolinux of Belgium
Slax of the Czech Republic
Exherbo of Denmark
Daphile of Finland
Manjaro, Lubuntu, Mageia France
Manjaro, OpenSUSE, Haiku, Knopix of Germany
AntiX and MXlinux of Greece
Linux mint, Zorin, Solus Ireland
Endeavour and NixOS of the Netherlands
Alpine Linux Norway
SparkyLinux of Poland
Void of Spain
CRUX of Sweden
Kali Linux Switzerland
FerenOS, UK

But if you trust more the US soft and services, use these and the malicious soft from there, without the rights and privacy of the EU but those from Trump and Musk.
Don't forget about Nix and Guix.
