"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

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. -

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.

@Tutanota That is very good step. Also they need to promote eu-based software preferably.
Yeah, I wonder what office suite they will use.

@starluna The public services have their own video call platform called "Visio"
I've used it a few times at school and it works great@ethanbvg Thank you for the explanation. I saw the reference to that and I was confused for a minute because Visio is also a Microsoft product that makes flow charts and things like that.
