I hope that Indian govt switches to Linux

I think the way forward here is getting more Linux support at lower levels, including the state-level. There has been some progress on this front, especially in Kerala, and also in Assam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_of_free_and_open-sour...

Recently state govts of Telangana and Gujarat have shifted to Linux

As have many colleges

What I was talking is the central govt and all govt undertakings. It'll be huge. Windows and IE6 is standard and they are bad, they hang a lot

Boss Linux developed by CDAC comes to mind https://www.bosslinux.in/

Although the penetration is quite low. The project looked stalled few years back, seems like they are back again. Last release is dated 28.8.2018
