The problem is that most of the GNU/Linux ecosystem - the kernel, GNU, systemd, GNOME - are largely developed (thus, dominated) by U.S. companies. Repackaging U.S. software in the EU does not make the software "made in EU".

European operating system projects, like 9front (mostly German), aren't really for the light-hearted.

Sounds like a pretty good argument for ditching both gnome and systemd in one swift go, which can only sound like a win. Perhaps we'll be seeing a supervisord- or openrc-based Linux distro for the EU.

Or we could finally have a good OpenBSD desktop distribution.

Now that would be an interesting outcome.
