The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.
If the petition is successful it would be a huge step forward for GNU/Linux adoption.

Yeah except that uninstalling Python 2 is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do.
Since Gnome depended on it, they would have had to intentionally push past warnings to force the uninstall, assuming they’re using a distro with a dependency mapping package manager… So, no, that’s not a perfectly reasonable thing to do
Go and learn some basics about UX. Two different very smart people made this mistake.
IIRC there are no warnings. It will just list gnome in the list of packages to uninstall that you often get when uninstalling things, and can easily ignore.
Again to reinforce the point because many people do not understand it. Just because it was possible to avoid the issue if you were careful does not mean that it is not an issue. People make mistakes. Seatbelts exist.
No OS idiot proof. You can delete critical files on Windows as well. Next up you will be complaining registry edits break Windows. You straight up removed a dependency of the desktop.
In the future you can run software in containers so you don’t have to care. Just install distrobox and podman.
Windows will actually stop you from deleting
Program Files.Nobody is asking for idiot-proof, just mistake-resistant. It’s ok, most people don’t understand this point.
Not if an essential part of the OS depends on it (your “UI”)
Which the package manager would have warned them about.
Meaning they deleted it manually instead of using the package manager OR just ignored all warnings and forced the uninstall.
These were too intelligent but too dumb for their own good user errors lmao.
