"Instead of sending public money to distant corporations, funds stay local and support IT jobs for regional developers and entrepreneurs. The use of open-source #Linux distributions also extends the life of existing hardware and reduces e-waste, which proprietary models can exploit for unnecessary spending."

Celebrating 15 Years of F‑Droid!

September 29th marks the anniversary of the open‑source app repository we all love.

Why it matters: F‑Droid’s mission aligns well with CoMaps—both champion Free/Libre Open‑Source Software (FLOSS) and community‑driven innovation.

#FDroid #OpenSource #FLOSS

have been using Accrescent when possible for several months and it is such a great substitute to F-Droid, especially when it comes to projects that are released under F-Droid repository – which isn't private & secure

genuinely hoping more FOSS projects will be adding their apps to it

2,2 millions d’utilisateurs de Linux sur ordinateur en France.

Un communiqué du CNLL commente cette dynamique et appelle à l’amplifier. La fin de support annoncée de Windows 10 en octobre 2025 agit comme un catalyseur, menaçant de transformer des millions d’ordinateurs parfaitement fonctionnels en déchets électroniques.

Reason 6 To Choose Linux 😍

Gaming … yes, gaming!

Can I play games on 🐧 #Linux? Yes you can, and it has never been easier!

Using a #SteamDeck? You are #gaming on Linux already 🚀

#LinuxGaming has entered a whole new era over the past decade. Thousands of popular AAA games run seamlessly on Linux and, in many cases, performance is equal to or even better than on #Windows, especially on older hardware.

Reason 8 To Choose Linux 😍

No online account required!

With #Linux you don't need to create an online account to set up or enjoy your new operating system.

As it should be.

It's that simple.

Reason 9 To Choose Linux 😍

No AI bundling! You decide if you want generative #AI / #LLM tools on your operating system.

There are many reasons to use or not use #genAI.

These tools are powerful, but also power-hungry in training and use.

With a critical eye they may speed up productivity, while feeding you confabulations / hallucinations.

With #Linux 🐧 the choice to have AI on your OS is yours!

Reason 7 To Choose Linux 😍

You decide when to install updates and reboot your computer!

Security updates are critical. They should be done early and often to keep your computer safe.

But you don't want your device to force an update - and then reboot - while you're working.

With #Linux, the decision when to update is yours.
