    France’s government is switching to Linux.

    France’s Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs (DINUM) has announced its “exit from Windows in favor of workstations running on the Linux operating system,” as XDA reports. It’s part of a broader shift away from non-European tech — in January, France’s government also launched its own videoconferencing platform to replace Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet.

    Gmail’s end-to-end encryption is now available on its mobile app.

    Starting this week, enterprise users will be able to send encrypted messages from Gmail’s Android and iOS apps if their organization has the feature enabled. Gmail’s version of E2EE, which uses client-side encryption, has been available since last year, but is still limited to users with enterprise accounts.

    Signal messages can be recovered from iPhone notifications.

    As 404 Media reports, the FBI managed to extract Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone by accessing the phone’s notification database, where incoming messages were viewable even after the app was deleted. Signal users may want to turn on the app’s settings feature that hides message content in notifications.

    Ubuntu’s minimum RAM requirements will get a more realistic bump to at least 6GB.

    As OMG Ubuntu points out, the new minimum is in place beginning with version 26.04, scheduled for release on April 23rd. You’ll still be able to install Ubuntu on systems with less RAM, if you can stomach it, but a lighter Linux distro might be a better pick, like Linux Mint or Lubuntu.

    Tubi is the first streaming service with a ChatGPT app.

    Tubi just announced that it has launched its own app inside ChatGPT:

    Users can add Tubi’s app from ChatGPT app store and type “@Tubi” anytime to describe what they’re in the mood for, whether that’s “a movie that feels like a fever dream but isn’t horror” or “a thriller for tonight.” They’ll then receive curated, interactive results that they can watch on Tubi.

    Valve may be developing a ‘SteamGPT’ for its own internal use.

    Steam code screenshots posted by @gabefollower on X appear to show ‘SteamGPT’ and ‘SteamGPTSummary’ working on support-related tasks. Both seem to be internal tools used for things like task management or pulling account details, such as a player’s trust score and account age.
