Based on Ubuntu. Interface and functionality like Windows, users will not feel much difference. BRICS countries committed to their own Linux distributions. South Africa has been the exception.

Was not Ubuntu the south África flavor?

Actually no, Impi Linux was SA govs Linux distro in mid 2000's before politicians changed. It was all political decision making. Ubuntu was a private initiative of Mark Shuttleworth, which he took to the UK. He was from SA and did give support to Impi Linux.

I did not know that. Well, in that case there are few distros supported bye gov's.
