Yes, it's incredibly stupid, there is already EuroLinux (RHEL) and now EU OS (Fedora), Fedora and RHEL are not community distros. Is this some kind of testbed for ChatControl2.0?

Sleek
OS that is fast and eco-friendly on new and old hardware
Yes...no. Fedora is not sovereign, nor is KDE "sleek". Must be a troll distribution, I trust HannaMontana Linux 10x more.

software supply chain issues. they may try to fork their own everything in time, if it gets that bad...
the same reason the US had to find out how chinese rare earth magnets made it in to the F35, for example.

#19Based on Fedora which is owned by a US company. Why?
It doesn't matter where software was produced or where it's core contributors reside. As long as it is fully open sourced and distributed under the GPL license (as Fedora) it is by nature an independent technology that empowers the user to claim their own sovereignty.
