>France is trying to move on from Microsoft Windows. The country said it plans to move some of its government computers currently running Windows to the open source operating system Linux to further reduce its reliance on U.S. technology.
>In a statement, French minister David Amiel said (translated) that the effort was to “regain control of our digital destiny” by relying less on U.S. tech companies. Amiel said that the French government can no longer accept that it doesn’t have control over its data and digital infrastructure.
>The French government did not provide a specific timeline for the switchover, or which distributions it was considering. The switchover will begin with computers at the French government’s digital agency, DINUM.

>>

Damn, that's some commitment right there
>>
i think its genius and i think i spammed pol threads about doing just this for america, imagine working on source code for tools you grew up learning/using k-12

Linux is almost entirely run and developed by american companies and US government
>>
Normies won’t last 2 weeks without PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Teams.

>uhh but there is Libreoffice and discord

Yeah office normies ain’t using that
>>
>>108645444
The US government & companies are full of the worlds biggest brainlets. I doubt they have more than 10 commits total across all distros and all employees and that’s in their spare time
>>
>>108644428
The same shit happens with monthly windows server updates. There's an emergency patch for that piece of shit that just came out, and it's a fix for broken updates. If anything arch loonix is probably less likely to break from updates than Windows Server.

>>108645444
Feds only contribute to bullshit like selinux because they need extra protection for running shitty code written by DOD retards with comptia certs and a career of sweeping hangar floors. They have nothing to contribute except bandaids for the problems they make for themselves.
>>
>>108643815
Neat! They can be the first to benefit from age verification.
>>
>>108643815
>France to ditch Windows for Linux to reduce reliance on US tech
Has anybody told them about where the linux foundation is located?
Not only that, what a disaster they will be coming back to Windows and kissing to boot. because no way government workers are going to be pleased using an inferior operating system.
>>
>>108644386
More like someone got bribed by Microslop and reversed it all
>>
>>108643815
Our government is too retarded to pull it off, not a chance.
>>
>>108645553
>Feds only contribute to bullshit like selinux
Feds fund linux development through companies like google, redhat and intel and systemd/linux is as much a backdoor filled botnet as nsa/windows
>>

>>
>>108646301

idk bout fr govt

>>
>>108643815
Linus is a US citizen so Linux is also US tech, in a sense.
>>
>>108645662
France already has its own suite of office software. what difference does it make which OS draws boxes around them?
>>
>>108643815
That's going to be reversed as it's going to be declared racist because windows is the only nigger friendly OS.
>>
hopefully they use a French distro like Mageia or OpenMandriva
>>
>>108643815
>L'année Linux sur ordinateur de bureau
