The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.
If the petition is successful it would be a huge step forward for GNU/Linux adoption.
If they can keep the MS lobbyists out, it’s feasible, just ask Munich.
My main worry with Linux becoming more popular is that it will be attacked with more malware and viruses. I wouldn’t mind though if Linux programmers could come up with better protection.
Linux is already what a decent chunk of servers run, so I don’t really see it increasing malware.
Well, servers don’t generally run Thunderbird and Firefox
The insecure parts of Linux is mostly on the DE side opposed to the core OS part that servers use. We absolutely will see more vulnerabilities in the future as Linux grows.
It’s ridiculous that governments don’t use customized Unix/Linux builds.
I mean I’d be fine with BSD too. the point should be to force public institutions to use FOSS
