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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

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.
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
They did used to. They've scaled it back recently
Huh, nice to see those guys still have this weird KDE 3 fetish.
Looks like the common edition is outdated, but for the curious: https://wiki.astralinux.ru/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=37290417
Not your run of the mill 'Russia throwing out windows' news item...
Kind of looks like windows vista design. Also it is probably a best thing that linux be adopted by countries. Gives better control and can be used for variety of purposes
Im just waiting for some capitalist to call Linux inc out for supporting the russians
They've sanctioned the Russian driver maintainers, it's probably enough
Lots of weird typos in that article, and it reads more like a fluff piece than anything but it's hard to find any actual reporting on this shift. Here's a ZDNet article on the subject (unless ZDNet's gotten better since I last did, don't open without an ad blocker). Thanks for sharing!
