It's a shame that so much taxpayer money is flowing to US multinationals.
To save money, the solution IS NOT austerity

To save money, get rid of waste.
Every province, every government department, should get rid of Microsoft and Adobe.

Arguably anything critical shoulf have the appropraite level of SLA on it, but every dollar spent on opensource is an investment vs money going towards renting it.
Suse is the only fully FOSS and first party commercially supported distro i know. They are international but HQed in Germany.
Debian and arch are fully FOSS and community ran.
Ubuntu is commercially supported but requires unsupported retooling to move away from non-foss snap packages. They are UK head quarted.
RHEL is probaly the market leader but mosy obvious against this goal since they are US HQed AND they EULA is antiFOSS.
PopOS is FOSS, commerically supported but HQed in the US and a bit smaller of a company.
SUSE, Debian, and Arch are my recommendations for third party supported distros because of their natures though of being very popular AND FOSS.
Again though the framing that it will free as in free beer is not a good one to me, support, devolopment and maintaince are real total coat of ownership factors to consider BUT FOSS does make those costs investments in truely publically owned and controlled systems and allow for greater choice in who supports it and flexibility in cost (if a government program cant afford a year of support they program can continue legally without paying anything, though with more assumed risk).
Because SLAs, paper controls, are what stops fascists and gross abuse by tech companies.
