Where are the European Linux distros? All I’m aware of when it comes to that is Suse, but it’s not a distro I’d use unless I have to do so. I worry about the safety of using software that’s developed and maintained by a US-based entity, especially after I move out of the US soon.
You can search by country of origin on the Distrowatch page:

A little tedious perhaps to go through this for all countries, but try France (Manjaro), Ireland (Mint), Norway (Alpine).
