"home grown" Ubuntu spin, got it
Chalega, it's a step in the right direction
It's certainly a step in some direction, I'll check back in a few years and see if it was the right one, or if it's just a publicity stunt.
Even if it is, this is an instant attitude switch for uncles who go "open source is not acceptable in the industry" or "open source is not sustainable"
Only if it actually succeeds. If the Indian gov't gives up on it after a year or two, then maybe it'll have the opposite impact.
I work with some Indians, so I'm going to ask them their thoughts. I'm genuinely interested in whether there's a will in India to actually make this a thing. I know it wouldn't fly in my area (US), but it has worked to some extent in other regions.
Potential is 100% there if they can get some stuff running
If the DE, compatibility layer and the antivirus thing is open source I want to make an openSUSE spin of it with kiwi
