France is here a better example. The Gendarmerie has its own distribution based on Ubuntu called GendBuntu. The state developed Tchap, a messaging system based on matrix. And many are looking to Linux to simply cut the cost like the french army.

Side note: The app Fedilab has its package name based on the french government open source projects (fr.gouv.etalab.mastodon).
