    Good move! Yet at the same time they’re buying Palantir software for the police and turning DK into a surveillance state nightmare 🥲

    Anyone know what Linux distro? I assume Ubuntu…

      Most likely one of the commercial ones that offer support and contractual guarantees of security patches, uptime, service, and help desk support.

      So likely Ubuntu, SUSE, or RHEL.

        Only SUSE is European, right? So either that or a lesser known one

      I don’t think so, because Ubuntu is also controlled by a private company, and Ubuntu has issues with open source, making everything they do dual license, meaning they can choose to switch away from open source on everything developed within the Ubuntu framework.

      So choosing Ubuntu would be incredibly short sighted. Debian is a much stronger candidate. Or an in house distro based on Debian, until a common EU distro is ready, which is already planned.
