97% of their police computers run on gendbuntu since at least 2017... they know linux already :)

why, great news!

So I suspect they are also dropping their plans to require age verification on social media?

After all, public code repositories which are essential for developing the software they're switching to are... also a form of social media, correct? Surely they do not want to sabotage its development by requiring those repos to implement costly age verification? Right?

I can tell you one thing: French authorities don't give a flying fuck about any right to privacy for commoners.

Curious how large organizations are dealing with the lack of tight group policy control that they're used to on Windows, and users having far more options for circumventing any given restriction.
