It is a screenshot of the filter option that allows to select both “European” and “open source” for people like who want both.
Elsewhere people seem to be recommending https://euro-stack.com/ as the most comprehensive directory

There’s a priest, a baby and a bag of candy. I need to take them across the river but I can only take one at a time into my boat. In what order should I transport them?
You can easily use the link https://openrouter.ai/chat?models=anthropic%2Fclaude-opus-4.6%2Copenai%2Fgpt-5.2%2Cx-ai%2Fgrok-4.1-fast%2Cgoogle%2Fgemini-3.1-pro-preview%2Cz-ai%2Fglm-5%2Cminimax%2Fminimax-m2.5%2Cqwen%2Fqwen3.5-plus-02-15%2Cmoonshotai%2Fkimi-k2.5 to ask all flagship models this question in parallel. Personally I would definitely not leave my children alone with a priest (they might try to convert them), but if your constraint is only baby+candy, then in my test Gemini, GLM, Qwen and Kimi made that, and only that, assumption.
Actually I set out with the assumption that flagship models would fail even on these fairly simple questions that I have seen them failing on before, but I was suprised they didn’t all fail.
MariaDB has a lot of users, and they should be more vocal about it to give it more visibility.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see multiple MySQL forks emerge in 2026, now that more people are realizing how bad Oracle has been as an open source project steward for MySQL.
I welcome more paid schemes, such as Ubuntu Pro, as I believe it is beneficial for the whole ecosystem.
In case you are Czech, there is a translation at https://www.root.cz/clanky/prestante-uz-pouzivat-mysql-neni-to-skutecny-open-source/?nahled=1
Glad to see more translations show up!
There was a bunch of luck involved that Andres Freund detected this. Give more time, it would have ended up in stable releases eventually if not detected.
Exactly. I don’t use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.
To me it is hard to find the best apps in their directory as they don’t have a good ranking system. The other sites that rank by GitHub stars do a pretty good job of surfacing what are the truly most popular and successful apps.
TLS is good *only’ if you are also validating those certs. And that is what MariaDB 11.8 is now doing.

Seems there are also https://www.opensourcealternative.to/, https://euroalternative.co/ and https://european-alternatives.eu/
“Unicode as default character set” - finally, nice!
Blog is better than reading GitHub: https://mariadb.org/11-8-lts-released/
Is Linux from Finland or from the USA? If someting is open source and has a global contributor base and no single entity can subvert it, then I don’t really think the country matters. But it there is one entity that controls it, then it matters where it is from and what jurisdiction and what policies apply on it.
