      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.

      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
