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.

It’s ridiculous that governments don’t use customized Unix/Linux builds.

There are a few reasons I don't believe a petition like this will change a thing though
