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.
And it’s not like every major distro doesn’t have a way to add custom repos to the stock package manager if they need to deviate from the disro’s stock repos for any reason

…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.
This is the case for Switzerland, a new law was implemented a few months ago
Supporting existing ones where possible and adding private stuff or diatro specific stuff when it’s not is the best way to go. Like valve and arch.

They did used to. They’ve scaled it back recently
