Well, quite ambitioned for a one-man-show, also the chosen linux distro as base can be disputed.

The mark to be appealing to "typical public sector organisation[s]" is quite high, but in regards to the team (one man?) I'm remembered of elmenteryOS and how the two founders managed before splitting ways. They pulled it off for a while.

Trying one size fits all is a mistake. There are plenty of European Linux distros and some public institutions have their own bespoke distros too.

Windows is one size fits all as well. What is the benefit of having a custom distro for every EU country? I think that would only increase friction between the member states systems and make learning from each other more difficult. Having one deployment target instead of 27 would make software procurement easier as well.

I don't even see benefits of a Linux being labled european. As long as the source is available, the repositories are accessabile and anybody could in theory build a distribution it should be fine.
