    EU backed distro is seriously missing from the marketshare considering even Turkey has its own Linux distro. I mean EU with all the pressure it gives to tech firms to behave fair, it’s strange they don’t fund a custom distro as an alternative to the Microsoft’s monopoly on the PC OS market.

      a custom distro

      …or just a pre-exsting one. Heck, they should just make it a point to support open source development.

        This. Just require all gov products and documentation to be open. (unless military and even then open were possible)

        Creating a new distro is not needed. Let users or nation gov bodies select or create as they see fit.
