   I still don't get why EU governments and agencies don't standardize around an already existing industry proven OS the EU already has domestically, which is SUSE, and need to each go reinventing the wheel their own way, which leads to higher costs and more fragmentation across the EU.

   I heard the reason was that NL doesn't know if SUSE will be sold off again and might end up in the hands of some US PE, but here's the thing, you're the government, you can just block the sale of companies related to sovereign national security like those making operating systems. You can just do things when you want to. You literally have that power. Exercise it for once FFS.

      Might be related to NixOS being strongly related to Netherlands and them picking local

         I think NixOS is also just much better suited for this particular job than SUSE. We use NixOS for everybody at work even though we're a German company.

            That's odd. Can I ask what you do for work that NixOS was the idea choice?
