It is possible that it is related to how Turkey has been flagging Linux software as malware.
I am turkish and i can say due go how fucking Technologically illiterate our goverment is, Distro watch is probably got banned automatically because Free Software -> Piracy. Most tech related at goverment jobs have people over 50+ That does not know how nodern technology works. I am suprised that they know what free means
Here is the link to the original website (an NGO that monitors blocked websites in Turkey): https://ifade.org.tr/engelliweb/distrowatch-erisime-engelledi/
And here is the Google translation of the text on that page:
The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of “IP hosting/spreading malware”.
why turkey is flagging linux as malware??? lmao
Probably the sysadmin in Turkey just didn’t think the distrowatch ranking system was fair, and they were tired of pretending like people actually use MXLinux
Can someone translate that text?
Here’s the Google Lens translation:
