Can this become the European Union's own Linux Distribution?

Can this Linux-powered operating system disrupt Windows' hold in the European Union?

A new community-led initiative called “EU OS” to develop a Linux distribution initiative looks like a positive development. It is specifically created to address the unique requirements of the European Union's (EU) public sector organizations. For me, this initiative stands out for its commitment to the EU's digital sovereignty, reducing reliance on external vendors, and creating a secure, independent digital ecosystem.
Just in case nobody reads the article:
EU OS is not an entirely new operating system and uses a Linux foundation based on Fedora and KDE Plasma as the desktop environment.
The main advantage of EU OS lies in its focus on standardization rather than creating something entirely new. It offers a shared Linux foundation that can be fine-tuned with additional bits, regardless of whether it be for national, regional, sector-specific, or organizational use.
EU OS = KDE Fedora
So if you install KDE Fedora, then you have EU OS so far until there are more standards in place.
Is this 3 we're at now? Still none based on a European foundation like Suse. These people are morons.
Going with Fedora KDE is a really solid choice, been rocking this for two years and it's stable as fuck and quite similar to Windows, so the
incompetentelderlystubborn people in the government might be able to work with it, too.Oh, let me tell you about the incompetent Gen Z kids I get calls from every day.
Well, you have a point... :(
I have questions about KDE as the desktop choice. It is the leading DE in terms of adding new features and Wayland development but it's quite unstable compared to something like GNOME or Cinnamon.
mint is kinda an eu one
