France's government is officially replacing Windows with a Linux desktop, utilizing the GendBuntu distribution. This decision is driven by a desire for digital sovereignty and reduced reliance on American software companies. Each ministry is required to assess its technology dependencies and create a migration plan to Linux by fall 2026. The move reflects broader trends in the European Union, where governments are increasingly favoring open-source solutions over proprietary software.
""The State can no longer simply acknowledge its dependence; it must break free. We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny.""
""Digital sovereignty is not optional.""
