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.

At least with Windows, most people know what its normally like at home, but thats less true for Linux.

Yeah, that's a fair point that they wouldn't have a comparison, so they wouldn't know if it's always like that. One could perhaps make an educated guess, depending on circumstance, but, without any first-hand experience or exposure, it would be just that: a guess.
