This video breaks down the real reason Europe is fleeing American software, what the US Cloud Act means for your data, and why Linux skills are about to be in serious demand. We cover the shift to NixOS inside France's digital affairs directorate, the Ubuntu-based distro already running 100,000+ Gendarmerie machines, and the EU OS project taking shape right now. You'll see how declarative config works, why it mirrors Terraform and Kubernetes manifests in real DevOps work, and my honest take on whether NixOS is worth your time if you want a tech job. Spoiler: I still say learn Ubuntu first, and I explain exactly why. 🔗 RESOURCES MENTIONED: → NixOS official site: https://nixos.org/ → EU OS public sector project: https://eu-os.gitlab.io/ → Free 16-hour Linux course + 5,000 member community: https://kubecraft.click/linux-cgv123 📱 CONNECT WITH ME: → Website: https://kubecraft.click/yt-apply-2 → X / Twitter: https://x.com/mischavdburg → Personal blog: https://mischavandenburg.substack.com/ → LinkedIn:   / mischavandenburg   → Instagram:   / mischavandenburg   → TikTok:   / mischavandenburg   ℹ️ ABOUT KUBECRAFT: I help you land six figure tech jobs through Kubernetes, Linux, home labs, self hosting and production-ready skills.
