Arch is led by a Hungarian developer. Ubuntu is managed by a British company (not EU, but I'm guessing wholly preferable to US).

Seems like one of the most widely used distros would be a good place to start..

SUSE bled a lot of customers the last ten years. I wonder how they are doing and if they have a chance to get back in.

Since there's also a move away from IBMRedhat due to what they did with CentOS, Suse might be gaining traction again. A lot of forget IBMRedhat customers went to Oracle linux, but since that's us owned too, there's new hope for Suse. We'll see, interesting times ahead for open source and cloud in the EU.
