    Positive News: France has announced its plan to ditch Windows & switch to Linux for government desktops. πŸ₯³ πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

    Not only that, but they have also moved 80, 000 National Health Insurance Fund Employees to open source alternatives replacing U.S owned Big Tech platforms like Microsoft Teams & Zoom.

    It’s amazing to see the country take action, push for real digital sovereignty, & opt for open source solutions! πŸ‘

      "France has announced its plan to ditch Windows & switch to Linux for government desktops."

      actually, no... they've announced that one of the government agencies / group will be moving to Linux.. not the entire government!

      Wizard's first rule: people will believe something because they want to believe it's true...

      the entire French government moving to Linux sounds very nice but that doesn't mean it's true! I'd recommend waiting until we have an accurate source that actually says this before getting all excited about it

      (see my other post in a related convo:

        @elduvelle @Tutanota
        At least it is a step in the right direction.
        FOSS alternatives to MS are much better than they used to be, in fact, the commercial stuff seems to be getting worse, more and more SAAS, reliant on cloud based solutions.

          @wyliecoyoteuk yes, of course, still - we should stop propagating information that might be wrong without a reliable source to go with it!

            This is good, I like this. They aren't actually like fully switching but this is a step in the right direction.

            The statement the French Government made about GrapheneOS still pisses me off though, we cannot excuse that and we need to remind them.

              @Tutanota Hopefully it won't introduce too may hiccups to make people not familiar with open-source be dissapointed.
