Hopefully the French will also endorse Fedora, Red Hat, and Valve's SteamOS. Microsoft is a huge security issue, since it isn't clear whether MS would bend to DOGE's whims. The NLRB and other aspects of the US government had DOGE set up accounts, which were accessed within 15 minutes by Russia.
Why RedHat? I thought it's a bad version of Linux and generally disliked (similar to Broadcom and ESXi).
Why not prefer something based on Debian. As it's being regarded as very stable I don't feel like it would interfere with the employees daily job as they don't need a cutting edge distro like arch.
So, I love Debian, and it's an excellent distro.
But personally something like suse makes more sense, it's more user friendly and is so German it's painful.
Can confirm, I use openSUSE and it's glorious. AFAIK, they don't accept donations, but they probably would from someone like the French government.
It has some wobbly bits, but it really exposes the most powerful parts of linux.
And it's still somehow more user friendly than basically anything else in linux. Or windows for that matter.
Yeah, they did a really good job. I use Tumbleweed on my desktop, Aeon in my laptop, and Leap on my NAS, and I'm testing microos on my VPS. They're all solid.
