It’s only a proof of concept at the moment and I don’t know if it will see mass adoption but it’s a step in the right direction to ending reliance on US-based Big Tech.

    Why Fedora? Sorry, but there are so many European options, it makes no sense to build a European house on an American basement.

      Probably since it’s the main redhat upstream and they want the advantage of already widespread usage.

      Although at that point why not OpenSUSE for the same reason you mentioned.

      if you’re not paying it doesn’t really matter. open source belongs to everyone; it’s a disservice to put it in the same bag as, say, a Microsoft or Apple OS.

      plus how far removed is enough? are we going to scrutinize what programming languages were used and where they originated as well?

        Open source is free for everyone, I think the objection is more about an american company being able to directly influence the decisions, operating under US jurisdiction, etc.
