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?
Debian is frankenstein’s monster of half-baked things that falls apart and rots. Add to it absolute absence of any leadership and direction, where even smallest decisions take years (mawk/gawk/nawk), shipping broken packages for years, and so on.
It is OS. OS doesn’t need leadership or direction. For these things you should address to MacOS. They have a leader, direction and all that.
Debian is just a GNU/Linux OS to run programs.
Actually you need leadership and direction so you won’t end up in current debian situation where they can’t decide on anything where there is three suites of helper utils that do same thing but can’t actually mandate usage of one. Where apt-get is still shipped ten years after apt becoming default and so on. It’s a mess.
