It is open source and likely to be released publicly to at least check for some vulnerabilities, the same government wants user ID for phones and computers, I don't know if I'd be ok with using that distro.

I would assume that distro is not meant for home use. Anyone who still chooses it could have chosen differently.

There's a Ubuntu fork for our Gendarmerie, maybe you could also use that at home if you wanted.
