The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.

If the petition is successful it would be a huge step forward for GNU/Linux adoption.

No OS idiot proof. You can delete critical files on Windows as well. Next up you will be complaining registry edits break Windows. You straight up removed a dependency of the desktop.

In the future you can run software in containers so you don’t have to care. Just install distrobox and podman.

Windows will actually stop you from deleting Program Files.

Nobody is asking for idiot-proof, just mistake-resistant. It’s ok, most people don’t understand this point.
