: 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.

          i read their statement as :

          1. Debian is “as far from corporations as possible” …
          2. Other distros might be also “as far from corporations as possible” … yet we don’t care because what we say is :

          it is as far from corporations as possible and it works

            Possible, I still feel like it was used as a sort of USP for Debian and just wanted to know if theres something about other distros (apart from the obvious ones) that makes them in some way corpo controlled
