I think it makes great sense to use Nix (or better Guix). The users are not expected to do any configurations. They basically need a browser and maybe a text editor if it’s the public sector.
Also, you can run Nix or Guix on basically any other dist. Which is very helpful for reproducible deployments.
Ubuntu doesn’t make any sense. Better use Debian in that case. We don’t need to give yet another eccentric South African billionaire more power.
SUSE is owned by the Swedish venture capital firm EQT. For better or worse. All software has “ties” to the US. Remember there are lots of good people in the US as well. Everything isn’t MAGA or tech feudalism.
I agree. Most Linux distributions have their base within the EU. Just dumb to bring a new Fedora based dist to the table. Debian is also very connected to the EU and France, even though the SPI is registered within the US.
One could push for The Linux Foundation to to move their HQ to the EU. If that changes anything. I guess it depends on if Linus resigns or wants to move back to Finland.

For sure memory safety and dependent types. C++ will probably be shoved down our throats.
If you don’t use pass, you should probably hate yourself.
Don’t know about the EU, but this is the only one you’ll ever need.
Maybe a more reasonable question: Is there anyone here self-hosting on non-shit hardware? 😅
Actually, what we probably want is something like openSUSE MicroOS with containers based on Nix or Guix.
Best would be if openSUSE simply adopted Nix/Guix for container configuration.
