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?

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
NICE
Guys, what distro do you think it should be based?
Debian ofc. Needs to be stable.
I don't think all of them should run a single distro. Linux is quite diverse by design. As long as they don't pick Red Hat or anything based in Fedora (which is pretty much Red Hat). I would love SUSE, but oh well
