Let’s hope Microsoft doesn’t move their headquarters to that state, as they did with München.

To be fair, though, iirc a lot of IT corporations have their German headquarters in Munich.

They changed the politicians after that stunt. Good Germans!

This has been long coming and has nothing to do with the tarrifs or even Trump. Germany has been trying to switch to Linux and LibreOffice for some years now because of the unwanted reliance on big tech.

Just wanted to say this because it might look like something that could be done because of the current US bullshit, which isn’t the main reason.

You are right, sadly going FOSSS and back again is a German federal government hobby since decades. I hope this time it sticks.

They even have a mastodon instance where their government is on too @landesregierung@social.schleswig-holstein.de . I can’t find information how many PCs have been migrated though… Am I missing something?

P.S Hopefully Microsoft doesn’t pay off some politicians to switch back like in Munich…

It’s a linked toot, which also says 30,000? And the article it links to says 30,000 in the first paragraph?

Its devinetively getting closer sadly the market share dropped in the last few months down to 3.8%. The death of Windows 10 however will push this up quite a bit I guess.

Let’s hope they also use some of the money saved to support the development of LibreOffice.
