This OS isn’t made by the EU, but it’s goal is to become sponsored by them:
Is EU OS a project of the European Union?
Right now, EU OS is not a project of the European Union. Instead, EU OS is a community-led Proof-of-Concept. This means it is lead by a community of volunteers and enthusisasts.
The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission in the future and use https://code.europa.eu/. For this EU OS is in touch with the public administration on member state and EU level. So far, EU OS relies on https://gitlab.com/eu-os.
Personally I don’t see why EU wouldn’t just go with Suse. It has the corporate support that I guess these government institutions crave, it’s a good system as far as I know and it’s home-grown. Ubuntu is another option, Canonical is a British company (not EU anymore but it is European).
any EU policy should support only FOSS platforms, protocols and storage formats so that anyone can immediately use without cost/license and any investment in further development is immediately available to all users and never privatised
companies can provide support services for these systems, there is going to be a lot of them
IMO EU should choose an existing project to sponsor. Not make another bad fork.

That makes sense. A reskin of an existing Distro with new funding would be a huge play.
Ubuntu is the most popular but they have a big proprietary push.
yeah this larping is some strange nonsense
