Commercial support or if it's critical enough infrastructure have a full time department/team to do it. Commercial support is the obvious choice for most countries starting out tbh.
Honestly SuSE, Ubuntu, and Hetzner all have good for enterprise support and its crazy that they don't have more major gov business in the EU now.
But honestly yeah, pay for labour to maintain things. It's not a breaking new idea. You can do that AND own the things instead of renting from private companies too. Also not a new idea.
The only thing new is that we are talking about computers and we have museums for them already so maybe get with the times, right?
