I hope they stick with it and not go back to Microsoft. No doubt that there will be a learning curve and some growing pains but this is ultimately for the best. I wish them all of the success!
Well they developed their own OS based on ubuntu , I believe they want to be as secure as they can be ?
Take anything from India with a grain of salt. This kind announcement happened in the past but ultimately failed to gain any steam.
UPDATE:
Can’t even stop laughing LMAO 🤣🤣 🤣
What are you expecting? Should they put out a big billboard saying “We’ve switched to Linux!”?
India feels like the country equivalent of Elon Musk when it comes to announcements. They always announce some incredible goal (man on Mars, Superpower 2020, whatever) lap up all the good vibes of that announcement, and then drop the ball on implementation. Then they quietly shift the deadline to 5 years later and make a new announcement.

Good for them.
Not clear on what systems they are switching operating systems. Assuming workstations operated by people? I’m sure there’s a lot of Linux there already on servers. Apparently there’s at least 1.4 million people in the Indian Ministry of Defence so I’m worried this is one of those announcements to get a licensing discount from Microsoft :(
nice. I’m sure there’s no way the NSA can spy on foreign governments and citizens now! /s
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=Lr-9aCMUXzI&
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
WTF is this link? Lol
You could replace that domain with youtube.com . These are typically custom self-hosted frontends for youtube.
Most have the google tracking and analytics removed while others do a bunch more.
Invidious. Privacy friendly decentralised youtube tunnel
This is such a no-brainer. Every government in the world should be doing this.
The more that do and contribute the more of a no brainier it will be too!
Fascinating news. On the statcounter site I also read that India’s Linux use stats for July, 2023 were at 14.15%. Incredible!
Schools use Ubuntu LTS based distro in my state too
Tamilnadu government has also shifted to linux afaik correct me if i’m wrong
Kite Gnu/linux 20.04
