India, your goal is great, but your actions are misguided. Focus on hardware. Merely increasing the number of Linux developers is largely meaningless. If you select the right hardware, Linux will run. Windows runs because it is designed and tuned to do so at the factory level. Laptop manufacturers could easily tune for Linux, but they don't because they haven't been asked to.

The government should place massive orders for two or three very simple, high-performance laptop configurations—enough for all government officials and students. They should also mass-export them if possible. These should theoretically be the cheapest, longest-lasting, and easiest to maintain devices. The first batch should simply be tuned at the factory level to run Linux Mint, Fedora, or Arch Linux.

Separately, replacing Excel with LibreOffice is a mistake. Excel must be separated and replaced by CSV (or a DB) and functions in a .py file. Furthermore, the laptop monitors must be 3K, and the batteries must be generic (or: universal). I hope the quality will be on par with a ThinkPad T-series.
