Depends where you are. I can’t speculate on the EU or its member-states. But here in Canada, your information is basically stuck at an organization unless you give consent to have it sent somewhere else. And it gets even more complicated when it involves a provincial-federal relationship.

Solution: don’t ship a shitty distro. This is the sort of issue that actual IT professionals need final say in. Not the MBAs. Not the politicals. The people who actually know what they’re doing. Additionally, years ago Linux was in a much different place. It’s really matured into something more suitable for both the average end user as well as professional adoption.

Governments tend to have security standards that differ from most solutions readily available. Not saying this is the case, but it’s a possibility.

Could easily fork a distro and pay a government agency or independent entity the same amount as Microsoft is currently being paid to maintain the distro. Or they could put financial backing on any of the current commercial Linux solutions out there. It’s far from farfetched.
