You love to see it. May many others do the same.

I predict that 2025 will be the year of 5% Linux representation

This is great news, but it is always worth remembering the ebb and flow of these things. It happens because an individual cared. Eventually, that individual won’t be in the decision-making process, and the office will likely come back. At least it usually goes thst way.

This part of Germany has supported open source software for a long time now. So this didn’t come unexpected or without a decade long preparation.
The most important part is not the product here. Unfortunately, the people who work with the software decide. It’s also a huge effort to educate all the people to use LibreOffice.
The nice thing is that MS Office moves entirely to the cloud and SaaS. Schleswig Holstein are the only one who will be prepared for the worst soon.

No matter what, this is crucial for the adaptation of Linux, because someone will actually use it and get used to the system.
That may also spark the interest in software development for the platform, which could make Linux support more platforms.

Exactly what happened in Bavaria when they did the same thing a few years back.
except that microsoft headquarter moved near munich after they moved back to windows.
Didn’t know that, thanks for the info
Didn’t they do this like 20 years ago, and return to Microsoft?
Going to be an interesting case study. I wish them the best, but I’m not holding my breath.
That was the city of munich…
No. This was Munich with its Limux project.
Truly the year of the linux lol
This is amazing for open source!
I’m all for governments saving money, and hopefully this will spread.
I dream that this will happen in other european countries as well. I am not that optimistic to dream that it will happen in Italy too
nice! I wish my government did the same.
I assume that’s how they fixed the “open in browser or in teams” default settings for text documents and presentations.
Hell yeah
