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

    I have this mental image of a migration like this leading to critical mass and the Year of the Linux Desktop, but has something like this ever lead to a significant upsrtreaming of improvements or new features?

      What is “The Year of the Linux Desktop” exactly? How do we measure this exactly and what does that even mean? (I use that phrase for memes usually.)

            That’s “Les bians” for you.

            Never forget to pluralize the nouns if the article is plural. 😛

    Every euro country or agency that has done or announced this has simply used it to extract concessions from Microsoft and either stayed with or switched back to windows.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
