2 hoursI know eveything in France is not sunshine and rainbows, but come on, cheap high speed internet, fantastic pedestrian infrastructure, great social welfare program, and now linux being adopted by the government?
France seems pretty cool to me
I wish Spain did the same, but Microsoft is very present, almost exclusively, in the national and regional administrations. There used to be more Linux, for example in education, but know, Microsoft everywhere. Sigh

bummer… not. Microslop crusade against FOSS backfires more and more. i think these guys should fight it even harder.
Combining French snobbery with Linux snobbery could set off some kind of chain reaction.
How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?

You think there might be a self-sustaining snobbery fission chain reaction?

As a French, I wait before believing it. The DINUM does not really hold authority above the rest of the government and all the other administrations. Our gendarmerie switched to ubuntu more than 10 years ago, but the police planned to change all its computers to accomodate to windows 11, and the DINUM advocated to for dong to stop using american cloud providers, but we have a shit ton of public stuff running on american cloud, including the health data hub.

Meanwhile in the UK our government is strengthening ties to palintir. We always have to be the losers of Europe

The UK is obviously in Europe… They just pushed us out into the sea one night cos we’re embarrassing.
Nah. That’s Canada. They even have their own MAGAts/deep south in Alberta.

Nah, dude, the island floated too far away, now they’re a continent

No doubt, but this is a step in the right direction. If it works it proves the value of further breaking away from the US. While we still buy whatever they’re selling, and provide support loading their bombs for their wars.

Giving an erratic actor root access to all yiur systems seems foolish, even for a blood drenched imperial so-and-so.
It is now clear that is what windows is.

They won’t go back. once you start getting used to having logic that responds to your commands it really is hard to give that up to ai slop.

I’d be interested to try their distro when it’s done…
I’ll just need to remove the french language pack first. Let me look up instructions for that real quick… Oh no…
Let’s hope they’ll use Gendarmerie’s almost 20 years of experience on that.
