Please reshare ♻️! Mario #Draghi on 22 Oct: "For years the European Union believed that its economic dimension, with 450 million consumers, would itself bring geopolitical power and leverage in international trade relations. This year will be remembered as the year in which that illusion evaporated."
He goes on: "One lesson is now clear from the way the global economy is 1/x

3 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: How many hours do you use your #Windows office computer per day? For 6h in front of the computer, this makes 6h·20d·11=1320h per year: Time that users spent in an ecosystem entirely controlled by few powerful, rich people in other countries.
And more and more, #Windows wants to increase this control and extract value for its shareholders. Change of license models to extract annual rents, forced upgrades to #Windows11, etc. 1/2

5 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: The architecture for EU OS must permit a migration phase in which both #Microsoft #Windows and EU OS run in parallel (hybrid setup). This way, organisations can do tests with only few of their staff (e.g. developers/engineers) while keeping everything as is for e.g. HR/business-critical functions. In principle, staffers may also have a Windows and an EU OS laptop at the same time. 1/2

6 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: EU OS is a so-called atomic operating system that offers interruption free software updates thanks to #bootc (bootable container) technology. While people work, bootc downloads and installs unnoticeable to the user the update. After the next computer restart (trigged by the user), EU OS switches to the new version. If something breaks, the user can roll back. 1/2

Who doesn't know the situation: Quickly leaving office to catch a train or join some dinner or sport class, but then the laptop cannot be powered off due to a #Windows update.
The software alternative https://eu-os.eu installs updates invisible in the background. After a reboot, the users have a freshly updated system without any waiting time! In many ways, #Linux is more advanced than #Windows!
Please share/follow to help raising awareness about #EU_OS #DigitalSovereignty #EuroStack.

Reboost ♻️ plz: #EU_OS is now partner for the French Gov Hack days early June in Paris.
The organisers were so kind to create a dedicated track covering the OS part of the digital workspace.
