Which ones are european? I only know about linux mint and openSUSE
Country of origin is a bit of a fuzzy concept when we talk about Linux. For example, Linux Mint (Ireland) is based on Ubuntu (UK), which is based on Debian (Global, but founded by American). So is Linux Mint Irish, British, Global or American? Also, every Linux distribution comes with software that has been written by numerous people all around the world.
@ClassyHatter @skitazd I also contribute to Linux mint sometimes. So it's also Dutch.
No it's not, or it would be orange.
@ClassyHatter
While I generally agree, one should beware if the project is backed/owned by a company, foundation or somesuch, as it would be legally-bound to their country's laws.
@skitazdDoes it matter? If they start doing something bad, you just switch distro.
Mandriva OS 🇫🇷 and Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu 🇬🇧 are also European.
If you would like to learn more:
Linux Mint and Zorin (not in the image sadly) are developed in Ireland!
Doesn't matter. Just get off windows and mac
Well i have made the switch, just curious
Theyre all free so it doesn't matter
