France quietly deployed 100,000+ Linux machines in their police force - GendBuntu is a silent EU tech success story
Well done. Let us get free from Microsoft spyware OS. They are not trustworthy vendors, and all taxpayers' money should go to fund open-source apps/software and not to Bill Gates' fortune.
@nixCraft Note, that deployment is super old (>10 years), and that's only one of the two interior security forces in France.
The Gendarmerie (under military status) and the Police National (civilian), are both answerable to the interior ministry and fulfil the same missions, with a mostly rural / urban area of responsibility split.
Only the Gendarmerie migrated, and it was recently published that the Police National are going to spend millions due to the Win11 migration.
