Who doesn't know the situation: Quickly leaving office to catch a train or join some dinner or sport class, but then the laptop cannot be powered off due to a #Windows update.

The software alternative https://eu-os.eu installs updates invisible in the background. After a reboot, the users have a freshly updated system without any waiting time! In many ways, #Linux is more advanced than #Windows!

Data from the domain DNS shows that many European public services rely on proprietary cloud services: https://jurgen.gaeremyn.be/2025/03/08/european-critical-dependencies/

"Querying mail-servers teaches that in some countries, over 70% of all public services rely on this American provider."

Last week, #Microsoft allegedly decided to cancel MS365 services of a Chinese university with a notice of about one week: https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article/3305889/microsoft-abruptly-cuts-services-chinese-university-genomics-firm

With my work on @eu_os , I hope to contribute to improve the business continuity of public authorities, international organisations and companies likewise.

Be quick and become the 2nd follower of #EU_OS on #LinkedIn!

I got told everyone on Mastodon uses already #Linux and the project to migrate from #Windows to Linux on the desktop would find a more relevant audience on LinkedIn.

Help EU OS to get what #Microsoft needs to make it go viral on LinkedIn: subscribe, comment, share widely!

#EU_OS looks out for potential early adopters in the public sector to inform the design of the proof of concept.

Many current Linux on the Desktop deployments are in the education sector: schools and universities.

Dear @primtux or any other education Linux project, would you be interested to join the first developer sprint in person in Paris or online?

I have been interviewed on the topic of #EU_OS by the Spanish Tech Blog @muylinux :

Reboost plz: #EU_OS is now partner for the French Gov Hack days early June in Paris.

The organisers were so kind to create a dedicated track covering the OS part of the digital workspace.

Check out the call for participants to join the EU OS team in Paris (or online):

#EU_OS is again in the news and at times misrepresented. It is NOT an offical project of the EU, but instead a community project with the goal to become offical in the future.

Please read the FAQ: https://eu-os.gitlab.io/faq#eu-project

Si punta ad una versione #Europea di #linux ossia #eu_os per le pubbliche amministrazioni (e non solo)
La filosofia di base è quella di ridurre la dipendenza tecnologica dell'europa dagli #USA e #CINA e che un software costruito con i soldi pubblici sia gratuito per tutti (in #Europa almeno)
I vantaggi in termini di competitività sarebbero notevoli, si potrebbero risparmiare anche 300 euro l'anno per PC tra licenze e necessità hardware

La France est parmi les plus avancés sur l'emploi des logiciels libres dans le secteur publique.

Today @darth covered in this Youtube show #EU_OS. Thanks for reviewing and your feedback!

In his video, he guides you through some of the project resources and shares at the end his perspective on a Europe in which computers would be built to run Linux well – through public sector incentives.

Today @BrodieOnLinux covered in his Youtube show #EU_OS. Thanks for putting us in your spotlight!

Few comments ahead of a possible appearance in the show in the future:

1) indeed, we are in concept phase. Join us here, on matrix at #eu-os:kde.org or at https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/boards/9013559 if you like to contribute.

2) @opensuse is well known, but it's atomic @kalpa does not have the layering support and tooling like @fedora or @almalinux

3) On the US: it's not so black/white.

The Digital Work Place with #Linux for the desktop in the public sector is already a reality, but often in small scale and with little visibility. Too little.

Today's #LinuxSpotlight is from Italy and France:
Échirolles and Vincenza use #ZorinOS in their public administrations.
