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?
J’utilise le Arch de Triomphe, btw
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?
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.
As a French, I wait before believing it. The DINUM does not really hold authority above the rest of the government and all the other administrations. Our gendarmerie switched to ubuntu more than 10 years ago, but the police planned to change all its computers to accomodate to windows 11, and the DINUM advocated to for dong to stop using american cloud providers, but we have a shit ton of public stuff running on american cloud, including the health data hub.
Meanwhile in the UK our government is strengthening ties to palintir. We always have to be the losers of Europe
You guys literally wrote the book on Orwellian governments.
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!

Eh, Germany is currently doing the same, so we’re both losing
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.
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
So I can no longer make the joke about removing french language packs using
rm -fr /?No, you can make it even harder now that they’re going linux
I just tried this! OMG whadoidowhadoidowhadoido
lol
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
Hon_Hon_OS??? Sign me up.
Vive la France
NICE
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
Let’s hope they’ll use Gendarmerie’s almost 20 years of experience on that.
Glad I found this comment. It was my first thought when seeing the headline: haven’t they already been doing that for decades?
I like that they went with “Gendbuntu” instead of a boring official sounding acronym.
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…
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!
Mandrake reborn? :-D
Well, that’s Mageia: https://www.mageia.org/en/about/
That would actually be nice.
Just change keyboard layout from Azerty
Between this and expedition 33, France is coming up with some Ws these days.
