That's true but at least you can review the code and they don't collect data on you like microsoft does.
Can we hate on Windows because of what it is, not because itโs a US company that actually claims(ed) to be an Irish company for tax reasons?
I may be wrong or outdated on the country affiliation, but an everything past windows (arguably XP) deserves hate on its own merit.
Which ones are european? I only know about linux mint and openSUSE
Mandriva OS ๐ซ๐ท and Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu ๐ฌ๐ง are also European.
If you would like to learn more:
While I applaud the effort, the collage needs more NixOS.
Aha! So there are the "non-tariff barriers" coming from the penguin island! This giving away an OS for free is so unfair to poor Microsoft and Apple.
WOOO puppy /woof !
Not spoken about enough, every chart about european digital alternatives hasnt included windows/macOS -> Linux
didn't mandriva close down like 10 years ago
Open Mandriva would have been better here.
I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 with Ubuntu on it. IIRC, it's 18, and the specs don't support upgrading it anymore with Ubuntu. I was thinking of going to Mint, but I haven't really kept up with the various available Linux flavors, for the last few years. 2 of the 3 USBports have stopped working, but that's a $30 part replacement. The wifi see,s really slow as well, but I'm not sure whether that's a hardware or software issue.
Try MX Linux
It's not European, but antiX and by extension MX Linux (as @mutual_ayed@sh.itjust.works also mention) are great for lower spec computers if you want something somewhat modern (Debian packages are a little crusty, but workable).
The 'MATE' edition of Mint is basically Gnome 2 with a lick of paint. That'll be worth a try.
