I think it’s an interesting idea, but it’s just a concept right? And it’s intended for public sector use, rather than consumer use.

Average people who want to try a European Linux distro on their home computer could try Ubuntu (British) or OpenSUSE (German). Or whatever you like really. Debian is not really European but it is a global FOSS project so you could use that if you want.

My Linux experience is mainly with Debian and Ubuntu so I’m biased towards those I guess. Use what you like though.

JohnSmith and NotJohnSmith taking different sides of the argument, lol.

Anyway I like the BBC. I don’t blindly trust it, because I read other sources too, like Sky News, The Guardian, and others. But I think the BBC is very good. And I definitely don’t think it suffers from the sort of government control that RT does. There’s a difference between government-owned and government-controlled.

The Register is a British tech news website. It’s like if The Verge was even more techy, more sarcastic, and cared less about being trendy. I like it and read it sometimes.

The Register also has a few connected sites that cover different tech specialities. E.g. DevClass which focuses on news in the software development world.
