		petre 1 day ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: France's government is ditching Windows for Linux,... Everything went South after the US listened to Merkel's phone. That happened during the Obama administration. If the EU or France are not capable of adopting Linux instead of M$ on the desktop, how are they going to switch phones over to something else that is not US based? By something else I don't mean Huawei.

Oh Android OS is quite workable. The hardware is the problem. And there the whole world goes to South Asia / China. Same with laptops.

But yeah, a missing agenda item. I guess desktop first. Have not said that for a while
