Well, quite ambitioned for a one-man-show, also the chosen linux distro as base can be disputed.

The mark to be appealing to "typical public sector organisation[s]" is quite high, but in regards to the team (one man?) I'm remembered of elmenteryOS and how the two founders managed before splitting ways. They pulled it off for a while.

This is a good idea, but a proper EU OS should probably be based on NixOS to make deployments brain-dead easy with perfect reproducibility.

And it should be hosted on Codeberg, not Gitlab.

Why not suse/opensuse? If you're looking for an European enterprise OS to replace american Windows/MacOS/RHEL, you can't do much better than suse.

Should RHEL be included here? American yes but are they capitalist cunts worshipping fascism?

The goal of the project is to provide a free OSS OS, and probably predates the buy European movement.
