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Looks like the common edition is outdated, but for the curious: https://wiki.astralinux.ru/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=37290417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

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!

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

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.
...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.
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
