The #US imposes 30% of #UStariffs to the #EuropeanUnion. According to Politico, the Commission is ready to retaliate. EU OS believes that a European response with Tariffs on US BigTech services (or all services that face trade deficits) would make so much more sense if the EU had alternatives for those in place. This is why #EU_OS, #EuroStack and #DigitalSovereignty is important. It offers more leverage.

Relying on America's IBM's Fedora Linux, CentOS Linux, and Red Hat Linux as upstream sources does not address many of the challenges that an independent, EU-based OS could solve.

It would be beneficial if your concept either became independent (via a hard fork), thus removing reliance on American businesses and jurisdiction, or if you developed a completely independent OS from scratch.
