Germany “develops” its own element fork with its BundesMessenger.

That’s a very differen approach compared to other countries where messaging is 100% mandated to the commercial world.

Probably a few use it but it costs nothing (except maybe the element server)

That’s true most of the time. It’s like the parking lot for some low level managers and the likes. And nobody usually cares until they find issues in their payslips.

I’d add:

• Mageia (French)
• Zorin OS (Ireland)
• Ufficio Zero (Italy)

Last option but better for an easy migration: linuxfx.org

Snaps, flatpck and app images, everything works ok usually on Ubuntu (if you have plenty of drive to store them all)

They should offer fydeOS too
