The future of our data sovereignty and freedom is in our hands! With small actions, we can change the game and reclaim control over our digital lives. The newly launched petition calls on “the European Union to actively develop and implement a Linux-based operating system, termed ‘EU-Linux’, across public administrations in all EU Member States. This initiative aims to reduce dependency on Microsoft products, ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and promoting transparency, sustainability, and digital sovereignty within the EU.

The petitioner emphasizes the importance of using open-source alternatives to Microsoft 365, such as LibreOffice and Nextcloud, and suggests the adoption of the /e/OS mobile operating system for government devices. The petitioner also highlights the potential for job creation in the IT sector through this initiative.”

From its very beginning, /e/OS has been at the forefront of the fight to give users control over where their data is stored, how it’s shared, and who can access it, providing a meaningful alternative to the intrusive practices of Big Techs. By supporting this petition, you’re endorsing the mission of /e/OS and joining a larger movement that values transparency, sustainability, and privacy rights in the digital age.

This initiative also opens up exciting opportunities for job creation and economic growth in the EU’s IT sector. By investing in open-source solutions, we can foster innovation, support local businesses, and reduce reliance on external software vendors, keeping both economic and data power within Europe.

It’s time to act! The more we unite, the stronger our collective voice becomes. Share this petition with your friends, colleagues, and networks. Sign it today to show your support for a future where data sovereignty, freedom, and privacy are respected, and where Europe takes a bold step toward a truly digital future.

Join the movement. Support /e/OS. Support Digital Sovereignty.
