Q: how come so many #schools & universities still accept — if not DEMAND — that their students use only proprietary tools [sending] so many taxpayer dollars allocated for #education to the likes of #Microsoft & #Googler?
Do you agree with THESE answers?

Mirantis Pushes Security With k0s 1.27, Its New Kubernetes Release - FOSS Force
#Mirantis, the company that bought #Docker #Enterprise in 2019 and several releases later renamed it Mirantis Kubernetes Engine, announced on Thursday the release of k0s 1.27, the company’s own branded (but still open source) version of #Kubernetes.
This new release is compatible with Kubernetes 1.27, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s flagship project’s orchestration system. It includes some improvements and bug fixes as well.
Mostly, however, it pushes #security, which should make it attractive to enterprise customers in this age when enterprise security has become “job one” in the technology arena, via a direct edict from the Biden administration.
“[S]ystem images shipping with k0s 1.27 come with zero…known vulnerabilities,” Mirantis VP, Miska Kaipiainen added. “We have daily scanning in place which lets us keep track of vulnerabilities as they pop up, and mitigate them super-quickly.”
This new Kubernetes distribution isn’t only about security. There are improvements to simplify the installation and management of Kubernetes clusters, which include support for containerd plug-ins to simplify running WASM and gVisor container sandboxes, making it easier to extend clusters with additional container runtimes.

Serpent OS Renamed to AerynOS Amid Funding Struggles
Before its first stable release, Serpent OS has been renamed AerynOS. Founder Ikey Doherty cites the need for a more positive identity. However, financial troubles continue to slow development. Doherty, known for Solus OS, has faced similar challenges in the past. The transition to AerynOS is set for March 17, 2025—ironically, St. Patrick’s Day, known for driving out snakes.

Building a "EU OS", a Linux distribution for the public sector, is another example of a repeating pattern.
Everybody throughout Europe talks about digital sovereignty, that we need to become independent, that Free Software is a great way of getting there, and at the end (almost nothing) happens.
Instead of simply starting to use all the great stuff out there, we start to build stuff because we tell ourselves that x, y, z is missing.
Let's get finally started! We will be surprised what's already possible. Gaps that might come up can be closed on the go.
Great article about seven FOSS-based projects the EU should support now instead of getting distracted:
