Solid move. If your office really just needs a word processor, email, a spreadsheet editor, etc, then Linux is going to make a ton of sense financially.
French village is switching their computers to Linux. They will no longer purchase Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office

C’est que des produits français.
Quelqu’un va devoir aviser Torvalds qu’il est maintenant Français. Blague à part, je comprends le choix de vocabulaire car la majorité de ce qu’ils doivent utiliser doit être des logiciels maison, mais reste que le système d’exploitation lui-même n’est quand même pas français.

What are they replacing office with? I’ve been using Office Libre but it’s buggy AF. I can’t use sheets on a second monitor because it freezes until I move it back the main monitor for example.

Personally I use LibreOffice, it’s very solid.

I use libre office on a second monitor and its fine. That honestly does not sound like a problem with software. It should not care how the os displays it to hardware endpoints.

That’s wierd… I wonder why it gives me a hard time?

I wonder what their software setup is. What they using for Id management or managing devices. Is this a government office?
nullify3112@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
The video says they are handling “banking info, health data and personal records”
mesamunefire@piefed.social 11 hours ago

Fizz@lemmy.nz 10 hours ago

Paraphrasing from the video: it’s a small town (2k people) in the Loire region. They claim that the transition to Linux wasn’t as hard as anticipated, meaning it wasn’t as hard to teach town officials to use it as they thought. Users are happy to see their machines run faster on Linux than on bloated Windows They are looking forward to saving money on SW but also on equipment since they don’t have to buy new machines for the Windows 11 planned obsolescence madness. However, the main reason the town switched was for privacy. They handle confidential info and are betting on Linux track record as less of a target of ransomware and other exploits, hopefully protecting their citizens data better.
10/10, who ever the mayor or city manager is, I applaud their clear mindedness and courage to make this transition. Hopefully, seeing the benefits, more towns will follow suite.
