Quite a bit to choose from: Arch is Canadian, and two very nice and user-friendly derivatives are Dutch and German, respectively: EndeavourOS and Cachy. Debian is “global” - no headquarters, with contributors from all around the world. Ubuntu is backed by British-based company. OpenSuSE is German, with Swedish financial backing.
I think the takeaway here is that Linux isn’t the work of just one person, even Linus Torvalds. So to expect an entirely Canadian Linux isn’t really the goal — it should be enough that Canadians are working on Linux, it’s being contributed to by lots of people.
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to move goalposts or seem like I’m pulling the football out from Charlie Brown’s kick… I suppose I was wrong to ask after a “Canadian Linux” in the first place, when the point of Linux is international collaboration without a mega corp in any one region profiting. Though, some companies do profit from Linux (e.g. Red Hat, I think that’s American), the end-user doesn’t pay for it.
Having a huge variety of distributions does allow you to be more selective though, based on whatever criteria is important to you. Re: RedHat - they are now an IBM subsidiary, so yeah- rather US-based.
