Logiciels équivalents
Les applications disponibles sous GNU/Linux
Utiliser GNU/Linux tous les jours.
GNU/Linux est aujourd’hui suffisamment abouti pour ne plus avoir à justifier sa place de système d’exploitation à part entière. La question n’est plus de savoir si l’OS libre peut ou ne peut pas remplir telle ou telle tâche, mais à quel prix nous refusons de changer nos habitudes. C’est en répondant à cette question que l’on pourra sereinement évaluer les qualités des logiciels libres et la place qu’ils peuvent prendre, aussi bien auprès du grand public que dans les administrations ou les entreprises.
