France is transitioning government desktops to Linux, with each ministry required to formalize its implementation plan by autumn 2026.

    France is being pretty cool. I wish we had des couilles in Finland.

    Well, at least we generated Linux itself somehow and then completely failed to keep it here. I still remember how little adoption there was at the start, and how almost everyone who was using Linux back then was regarded as some sort of an idiot savant.

    I mean I was an idiot savant, but not because I was using Linux.

      Eh, you can’t be spending 100% of the time supporting nazis, so once in a while you forget to destroy democracy and you mistakenly make a good decision. So yeah, I guess France is only at like 95% now.

    I work for the CA state govt and I’ve been saying for years we need to create our own standard operating system through Linux for state agencies.

    Thank God, maybe we’ll see it happen here in the states in 10 years. Yes, I know, hopelessly optimistic that things will stop developing negatively and begin to develop positively.
