✊️ France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins

｢ France positions Linux adoption as part of a broader policy focused on sovereignty, interoperability, and reducing dependence on foreign vendors. As the announcement comes directly from DINUM, which oversees digital strategy across ministries, it holds greater significance than a local pilot or isolated administrative project ｣

@jbz @ivan It's great to know that, after many years ignoring people with disabilities,, Linux will finally be fixed to meet the European Accessibility Act

@tinitun @jbz I bet it won't. Not at first, at least. Promoters of the initiative will find the hidden cost somewhat late in the adoption cycle, worst case when suits start being filed in French courts. But then Linux will finally be fixed.

Or dropped hastily to go back to Microsoft as so many times has happened before, who knows.
