France to ditch Windows for Linux to reduce reliance on US tech - TechCrunch
Overview
France plans to move some government computers from Microsoft Windows to the open-source Linux operating system to reduce reliance on U.S. tech companies and strengthen digital sovereignty. The shift is a practical response to concerns about vendor dependence and could prompt other public-sector bodies to consider alternatives. It also increases pressure on Microsoft amid wider criticism of Windows 11 and the company's efforts to fix the platform.
