Adieu Windows: Why the French Government Is Choosing Linux

A fresh digital wind is blowing through Europe, and this time it’s coming from Paris. France recently announced a historic decision: the government is officially switching from Microsoft Windows to Linux. With this move, the French state wants to reclaim control over its digital future and end years of dependency on American technology.

At PixelUnion, we applaud this development. Why? Because the values France is now embracing at the national level (digital sovereignty, privacy, and open source) are precisely the values on which our platform is built.
