What Is EU OS? (It's Linux)

So, this is actually addressed in the video and one of the most common asks in the matrix chat of the project. The short answer is: This is not a project to create a new distro, and in fact, the choice of underlying distro is very much flexible - the main responsible person cites another pilot project where they rolled out an OpenSUSE tumbleweed based distro in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and after the pilot ended, the underlying distro was still considered very much flexible. So, distro choice is, somewhat unintuitively, not that important at this stage.

This is instead a project at building a framework that can then plop on top of an underlying distro (currently, Fedora is the candidate, simply because that's where the most work has been done - but there's volunteer work going on for other distros, too), and also a project, to lobby and convince public service sectors in the EU to use this customized distribution, tailored towards the need of EU public administration.
