minus-squareiamaklinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoBased on your instance you appear to be from Kerala. I’ve heard that the FOSS adoption there is much higher than rest of India. Why is it so?
minus-squareA10@kerala.party@kerala.partyOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoI don’t know if it is higher than other Indian states, but all state schools and many Govt offices in KL use FOSS. Maybe because of this https://kite.kerala.gov.in/KITE/index.php/welcome/wedo/1
minus-squareiamaklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWow. Nice! How’s the adoption in masses? Do they use/prefer foss?
minus-squareAppukuttan@kerala.partylinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoThe school I studied in used Ubuntu. We mainly used GeoGebra and Geany. Colleges here also use Ubuntu as well.
minus-squareiamaklinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoOh nice. TIL Geogebra is FOSS. We use it as well. When I was in school we had Windows XP but idk what kids these days have. Colleges have Ubuntu Yeah my college had Ubuntu as well but that was for cs
minus-squareA10@kerala.party@kerala.partyOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI think Most of the time they don’t even know that they’re using FOSS or Ubuntu based OS, since most of the work is done through web applications anyway.
minus-squareiamaklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThat’s true as well. Modern “normie” computer use is 90% browser work
