It is possible that it is related to how Turkey has been flagging Linux software as malware.

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”.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
