What is EU OS?
EU OS is not a project of the European Union, but it should be.
So far, EU OS is a Proof-of-Concept for the deployment of a Fedora-based Linux operating system with a KDE Plasma desktop environment and bootable container technology in a typical public sector organization. Other organizations with similar requirements or less strict requirements may also learn from this Proof-of-Concept.
Despite the name, EU OS is technically not a new operating system. Distrowatch lists currently over 250 Linux operating systems (‘distributions’) and their various flavors, spins or subvariants are not even counted in. The added value of EU OS is a different one:
- a common Linux OS as a base for all EU OS users with options to layer on top modifications (national layer, regional or sector-specific layer, organsation-specific layer)
- a common desktop environment
- a common method to manage
- users and their data
- software
- devices
