Really cool stuff. Glad to see my gov't doing the right thing. Even created a nextcloud account because it might be exactly what I'm looking for to replace onedrive on linux (open source code to manually sync).

So far they just cut & pasted the recommendations of the CCC (more or less) into their wish-list paper... but yes it is a good first step.
I'm surprised that Nextcloud haven't gone the whole way, and built a complete, lightweight, OS by now.
They already struggle to maintain their feature-creep in Nextcloud itself, so why reinvent the wheel to make yet another Linux distribution?
... because they're half way there, really.
Edit: Nextcloud feels different to an OS... Even though you work with apps (from a "store") : it's a contained world. It just seems odd to me that it has to be built atop something else, rather than coming as a complete entity.
