France moving from Windows to Linux to cut reliance on US tech

France is starting to step away from Windows in its government systems and move toward Linux.

It’s part of a bigger push to rely less on foreign tech and keep more control over how its digital infrastructure works. Officials are treating it as a long-term shift, not a quick swap.

Each ministry has been asked to figure out how to make the transition by 2026.

Linux is at the center of it mainly because it’s open-source, so it isn’t tied to a single company and can be adapted more freely.

France has already been slowly moving in this direction, replacing some widely used tools with local or open-source alternatives.

It’s another sign that governments in Europe are starting to rethink who controls the software they run on.
