While, yes, this is based on Linux, the point is to provide all public sector offices, from schools to hospitals to police, courts, and military, a standardized, EU maintained digital public good. This leverages economies of scale. Instead of a school, hospital, mayor's office, municipal sanitation office, etc. each fielding their own over-worked IT support team that is probably one or two people holding together a temperamental distro, one team of 6 people can handle each site, all on the same budget, and all working on the same distro.
