Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germany’s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.

Honestly, the EU seems to be not the best place to write operating systems.

The most actively developed version of Plan 9, 9front, is from Germany, but that's not what most people want to use, I guess. Best I can do is non-American (OpenBSD). I'm open for ideas myself though!
