- France plans to shift government computers from Microsoft Windows to Linux to reduce reliance on U.S. technology.
- The move aims to regain control over data and digital infrastructure, part of a broader digital sovereignty strategy.
- This follows European efforts to lessen dependence on foreign tech providers amid concerns over U.S. instability and sanctions.
- France previously switched from Microsoft Teams to French-made Visio and will migrate its health data platform by year-end.
