Tiago FY🇫🇷 GendBuntu – 100.000 PCs com Linux na polícia francesaAnos atrás, a gendarmaria francesa implementou algo que muitas vezes ainda é apresentado como impossível na Suíça: ela gradualmente converteu seus computadores do Windows para sua própria distribuição Linux.Como o objetivo foi alcançado? Passo a passo, os aplicativos comerciais foram substituídos por produtos de código aberto: 2004: O OpenOffice substituiu 20.000 instalações do Microsoft Office. 2006: A mudança para o navegador Firefox começou. 2008: Foi tomada a decisão de migrar completamente para o Linux.Nos anos seguintes, os computadores Windows foram continuamente substituídos por sistemas com a distribuição Linux interna GendBuntu. Os serviços de suporte também foram convertidos em código aberto (por exemplo, monitoramento com nagios)Em junho de 2024, 97% de todas as estações de trabalho – um total de 103.164 PCs – estavam executando o GendBuntu.📄 Mais sobre o projeto na Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GendBuntu" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GendBuntu</a> Apesar do grande sucesso, esses projetos Linux de longo prazo são falados muito raramente.➡️ Por que não podemos fazer o mesmo?(Repost do LinkeDisney)<a href="https://bolha.us/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://bolha.us/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://bolha.us/tags/GendBuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GendBuntu</a> <a href="https://bolha.us/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FOSS</a>
