Le Arch
Le BTW
Coming soon: Arch de triomphe.
Oh well done!
deleted by creator
It was originally named Arch de Omphe omphe omphe for the noise of the soldiers marching through it, but they got tired omphe it, I mean of it and renamed it to Triomphe. Not to be confused with victory.
Le tired you say?

year of the french linux desktop
But I am le tired
Well have a nap
ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!!!
I said lunch, not launch.
(stolen from meme for other country, please accept)
Well have a nap
ZEN INSTALL ZE GENTOO!!
Then have a nap again while you compile GTK/qt/and whatever else
Just Sway, don’t use QT with Gentoo.
confused german look Hans, zey konfond is again
It’s fine, they’ve sorted out sleep mode on most hardware a while ago
Monkey’s Paw: They pick Red Hat as a distro.
With the resources they have – and the goal of having security and control over their digital supply lines – I don’t see why they wouldn’t roll their own distro. Maybe heavily based on an existing distro (looking at you, Debian) but something that’s completely under their control, so they can choose for themselves exactly what packages are included, what security settings are used as defaults, when and if to update things, etc.
Edit: after (gasp) actually reading the article, it seems that each department within the French government will be responsible for their own implementation, which means they might all end up using different distros in different departments.
That seems odd, that just means higher costs for support. Pick one distro then do custom packages or Ansible for your stuff that you want on top but don’t go a million different ways
its smart for a start cause everyone cooks and then they can share the best parts
Going a millions different ways is more in the FOSS spirit than starting off by saying ‘everyone will use this list of software’. They can’t know what will be the best fit for everyone so they’re approaching it flexibly.
They can iterate in the future or come up with standards as they need, but in the beginning it’s better to try a lot of different things to see what people discover.
It’s either a political move (nobody wants to be responsible for and/or depend on another ministry), or 4D chess where they would prevent a single vulnerability to expose the entire user base.
Fun fact, Orange (former France Telecom) has developed its own distro for the best part of the last 25 years. It’s… very peculiar.
By who are we kidding. The actual work will be offloaded to the shittiest contractor available (Capgemini/Atos/SopraSteria), it will take 5 years of the planned 2 and will cost 3.5 times the initial budget, for something sensibly shittier than an uBlue script.
Nobody gets fired for buying IBM … apparently.
buys the whole of IBM
boss: I… but… yet… finances… ruined…
So when are we getting OS/2 5.0?
You are so mean! I had just stopped crying over not getting the new version of OS/2 the other week!
Probably more likely to go for SUSE, since it’s European but still Enterprisey.
OpenSuSE is German, so unlikely. They will go for some French distro like Mandriva.
Sure, we have Suze at home.
Yeah or let’s create a Picon distro to avoid name conflicts. And it tastes better.
Suse? Aren’t they Pepsi?
bummer… not. Microslop crusade against FOSS backfires more and more. i think these guys should fight it even harder.
C’est l’année de l’ordinateur Linux!
Super! (j’utilise Arch, au fait)
J’utilise Arch, du coup!
C’est l’année de l’ordinateur Linux!
It’s the year of the Linux computer!
Oh man! I thought this was going to be the rare case where you could actually say the thing in French with fewer characters, but French loses by 1. Dommage! And English doesn’t even have a contraction for “the,” of which there are two in this short sentence!
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?
France seems pretty cool to me
Combining French snobbery with Linux snobbery could set off some kind of chain reaction.
How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?
You think there might be a self-sustaining snobbery fission chain reaction?
How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?
Wasn’t this foretold in Infinite Jest?
Like Tux but with cool sunglasses and cigarettes.
Don’t forget the baret and baguette.
J’utilise le Arch de Triomphe, btw
Between this and expedition 33, France is coming up with some Ws these days.
Probably called Xunil
More like Nuxli. Sounds like a cereal brand.
Low-key great distro name
And the académie français is pissed about it
L’Nux
Why not Des Nux?
Le Nux
Hello, this is Le Nus Torvalds, and I pronounce Le Nux as Le Nux.
La or Le?
Zomg, they will not allow you to sudo remove le French language!!!
Listen carefully, i shall say this only once!
It is I, le Tuxue, and I am here to help you install fallen penguin with the big boobies mod. (DE theme?)
Yes of course Herr Gruber 🙃
Okay… Fire ze missiles!
But I am le tired
well have a nap… AND ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES
They won’t go back. once you start getting used to having logic that responds to your commands it really is hard to give that up to ai slop.
Let’s hope they’ll use Gendarmerie’s almost 20 years of experience on that.
I like that they went with “Gendbuntu” instead of a boring official sounding acronym.
Glad I found this comment. It was my first thought when seeing the headline: haven’t they already been doing that for decades?
This is how you renegotiate with MS.
Hopefully the time for negotiations is past
Someone way better at editing gifs than me should edit the 5th element “We’re sending somebody in to negotiate!” Scene to have tux superimposed over Bruce Willis
but it is vador taking the shot and saying i am altering the deal pray i dont alter it further, then neo coming up with the mini gun hellicopter out side the window, fuck yeah!
then True lies shooting the terrorist strapped to a tomahawk at the chopper
just ask grok, duh
Yeah, I think/hope this is their “Find Out” era.
