@s1m0n4 This is a fantastic development. We look forward to the day when ethical, privacy-respecting, and EU-centered procurement on mobile devices is taken into account as well.

"For now, there are no specific details about which distributions will be used, as that decision will apparently come a bit later." I'm really excited to know which they will choose.

@alessandro pour l'instant on parle d'une feuille de route à définir pour l'automne 2026. Je pense que toute transition de système d'exploitation ne verra pas le jour avant fin 2027.
Malgré cela, ça reste un virage historique et important. L'Allemagne pourrait suivre l'exemple et, ensuite, l'UE entière.

@jon_bon ok we have the news. DINUM is developing two distros based on #NixOS: Sécurix and Bureautix (they aren't Asterix characters even though their names might give you that impression
)

@s1m0n4 So NixOS forks with KDE Plasma, with e.g. LibreOffice and Signal pre-installed.

@jon_bon there are also OnlyOffice and WPSOffice to ensure compatibility with propertary formats. Unfortunately for now.
And to chat Element is a nice addition too! -
