No standard, no custom government specific distro designed for the use case and ensuring stability and consistency… every department can choose their own.
So similar fragmentation that underpins the issues Linux has with consumer confusion when trying to switch. There are too many options all with weird quirks that isn’t an issue for technical people, but is impossible for the average person to wade through to find good options for them.
Maybe they’ll specify more in the future, but at the moment it looking more like expecting each large government department to make fundamental decisions on their core IT infrastructure on their own, as opposed to a dedicated and specialized team with experience.

I’ll bet money they’ll either chose Fedora, Ubuntu, or some custom distro.

Fedora makes the most sense to me. But I can see how a cautious bunch might go for the perceived safety of Ubuntu.

Would a government choose Fedora rather than Red Hat?

From what I remember reading; different ones, they’ve set no standard and let every department pursue their own needs.
