Govt should produce/create/modify a base linux Linux Distro which must be fully GPL like Trisquel , it can start supporting BOSS/SchoolOS etc 2. Govt must impose a criteria on hardware guys, "before selling any hardware, show that it work well on at GNU/Linux OS from rule number 1" So even if govt is incapable of supporting its OS, Hardware guys will imporve it for their sells. May be someother tricky solution. As I told, even if the hardware vendors specify the specification, kernel.org is sufficient to create all drivers.. *How we can impose such criteria? What Govt agencies are responsible for controlling nuisance of hardware vendor ?
