Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germany’s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.
Great, now Germany gets slapped with additional 10% tariffs, because of penguins.
Schleswig-Holstein therefore follows the general strategy to move towards an open source driven administration. In fact, several federn institution already migrated to the openDesk administration bundle (https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/opendesk/). Great!
Let’s hope they are successfull and let others migrate as well. The more migrate, the less likelier a failure is
Is this the year of the Linux desktop?
No.
