France's Interministerial Digital Directorate (DINUM) has announced that it is moving its own workstations from Windows to Linux and has ordered every government ministry to develop a plan to eliminate extra-European digital dependencies by autumn 2026. This directive includes operating systems, collaborative tools, cloud infrastructure, and artificial intelligence platforms. This follows France's January 2026 mandate to replace Microsoft Teams and Zoom with its domestic Visio platform across 2.5 million civil servants by 2027. The move is part of a broader digital sovereignty strategy that has been accelerating since late 2024. The announcement was made at a conference by the Directorate General for Enterprise, the National Agency for Information Systems Security, and the State Procurement Directorate. No specific Linux distribution has been named in the public announcement.
