It is possible that it is related to how Turkey has been flagging Linux software as malware.
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.

I am turkish and i can say due go how fucking Technologically illiterate our goverment is, Distro watch is probably got banned automatically because Free Software -> Piracy. Most tech related at goverment jobs have people over 50+ That does not know how nodern technology works. I am suprised that they know what free means
I'm almost 50 and I surely know about modern tech and FOSS. Age is not the problem here. Ignorance is.
Yeah, people who built those modern technologies are mostly over 50, I suppose.
The government also supports Pardus, but different departments I’m sure. I always thought their independent projects looked pretty neat.
Differsnt departments with no knowledge transfer
