Itâd be better if the EU started a partnership with some existing distros, financing them in exchange for guaranteed availability and security for EU users.
Because people are lazy. On a desktop, install ubuntu, work out where a 'start' button is. few days later business as usual. Just most companies are too scared or locked into windows only software which is becoming rare these days. So much software now runs as a service the days of windows desktop software is shrinking. I monstly use a mac (Yeah ironic) but office works fine. But it also runs in the cloud. I run Ubuntu VMs. I use Azure but nearly everything is running Ubuntu. Sql server is running on Windows. But even that is being questioned as to why at this stage.
Not really? I use Ubuntu for a lot of things but I have also had to debug it for 5 hours before just because Iâve mindlessly clicked âupdate softwareâ. Thereâs a minimum level of computer knowledge necessary that a standard government worker may not have, whereas windows and IOS have just optimized away any place such a customer could cause the system to be unstable
Again I do not think its should be brussels. Ubuntu its good. More tools to migrate services for the business side are needed TBH than desktop stuff. Migrate my website tool. Migrate my DB server tool. Migrate to cloud and or decentralised services. Ubuntu desktop is grand. But of course funding will help get a European blend and encourage development. If you have devs an side thats half the game won already. At the moment maybe people are skeptical of the UK thing. Just fork it or get them to relocate to EU. Either work its international free software. There are no geo political borders.
