I know eveything in France is not sunshine and rainbows, but come on, cheap high speed internet, fantastic pedestrian infrastructure, great social welfare program, and now linux being adopted by the government?
France seems pretty cool to me
I wish Spain did the same, but Microsoft is very present, almost exclusively, in the national and regional administrations. There used to be more Linux, for example in education, but know, Microsoft everywhere. Sigh
This is huge step, hopefully others will follow!
Combining French snobbery with Linux snobbery could set off some kind of chain reaction.
How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?
Like Tux but with cool sunglasses and cigarettes.
Don’t forget the baret and baguette.
You think there might be a self-sustaining snobbery fission chain reaction?
How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?
Wasn’t this foretold in Infinite Jest?
Meanwhile in the UK our government is strengthening ties to palintir. We always have to be the losers of Europe
Hey. Thats not true. Youre just outside europe.
The UK is obviously in Europe… They just pushed us out into the sea one night cos we’re embarrassing.
You guys literally wrote the book on Orwellian governments.
Eh, Germany is currently doing the same, so we’re both losing
UK is US-lite.
Nah. That’s Canada. They even have their own MAGAts/deep south in Alberta.
Feck, wish I could argue with you!
maple maga
Which is at least good on pancakes.
Afaik France still has contracts with Palantir
No doubt, but this is a step in the right direction. If it works it proves the value of further breaking away from the US. While we still buy whatever they’re selling, and provide support loading their bombs for their wars.
Giving an erratic actor root access to all yiur systems seems foolish, even for a blood drenched imperial so-and-so.
It is now clear that is what windows is.
Hey at least you aren’t getting natural gas from those guys. You know those extra super duper bad guys.
I mean, technically y’all aren’t part of Europe anymore…
Yeah they are? Just not the eu
Nah, dude, the island floated too far away, now they’re a continent
J’utilise le Arch de Triomphe, btw
They won’t go back. once you start getting used to having logic that responds to your commands it really is hard to give that up to ai slop.
year of the french linux desktop
But I am le tired
Well have a nap
ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!!!
Well have a nap
ZEN INSTALL ZE GENTOO!!
Then have a nap again while you compile GTK/qt/and whatever else
Just Sway, don’t use QT with Gentoo.
I said lunch, not launch.
(stolen from meme for other country, please accept)
confused german look Hans, zey konfond is again
It’s fine, they’ve sorted out sleep mode on most hardware a while ago
L’Nux
Le Nux
Hello, this is Le Nus Torvalds, and I pronounce Le Nux as Le Nux.
Why not Des Nux?
La or Le?
This is how you renegotiate with MS.
Hopefully the time for negotiations is past
Yeah, I think/hope this is their “Find Out” era.
Someone way better at editing gifs than me should edit the 5th element “We’re sending somebody in to negotiate!” Scene to have tux superimposed over Bruce Willis
just ask grok, duh
but it is vador taking the shot and saying i am altering the deal pray i dont alter it further, then neo coming up with the mini gun hellicopter out side the window, fuck yeah!
then True lies shooting the terrorist strapped to a tomahawk at the chopper
I’d be interested to try their distro when it’s done…
I’ll just need to remove the french language pack first. Let me look up instructions for that real quick… Oh no…
Mandrake reborn? :-D
Well, that’s Mageia: https://www.mageia.org/en/about/
That would actually be nice.
I haven’t found any confirmation anywhere, but I know some of the people at DINUM are active NixOS maintainers, and I’ve seen some NixOS-based development in that space:
As a french and daily nixos user, this is great.
Nixos or a derivative would make a ton of sense for an administration, just load the same config on all the computers and voila! Each department can have it’s own variation of the config.
Neat!
Just change keyboard layout from Azerty
bummer… not. Microslop crusade against FOSS backfires more and more. i think these guys should fight it even harder.

Reminds me of the old “Genesis does what Nintendon’t” ads
Did Nintendo sue them by any chance?
Its Nintendo. They were already suing them before they even knew about the ad. Most lawyers are familiar with the old “cease and desist” letter method, but Nintendo’s even got “don’t even start” warnings from their legal department.
Windidn’t
Between this and expedition 33, France is coming up with some Ws these days.
C’est l’année de l’ordinateur Linux!
Super! (j’utilise Arch, au fait)
J’utilise Arch, du coup!
C’est l’année de l’ordinateur Linux!
It’s the year of the Linux computer!
Oh man! I thought this was going to be the rare case where you could actually say the thing in French with fewer characters, but French loses by 1. Dommage! And English doesn’t even have a contraction for “the,” of which there are two in this short sentence!
