I don’t really get the hate for US-based FOSS. Corporations? I get it, and I’m here with popcorn to watch them suffer. But few if any are profiting if you decide to use Fedora (for example), unless you take issue with Red Hat’s downstream involvement. Most other projects don’t benefit any corporation and are hobby projects put out there for the public good.
Avoiding Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and the like makes lots of sense, as does investing in your local economy, but FOSS is open by design, and it thrives through global participation. Seems to me like tossing the baby out with the bathwater, otherwise.

Besides “hate”, EU wants to support EU based tech.
Suse and fedora are both linux and not that different. Nix would be great as well, especially for admins, I guess.
Nix and suse are european. Support contracts etc go to European firms instead of american.
