“the German state of Schleswig-Holstein will phase out all Microsoft software from government workplaces. The goal is to fully transition from Microsoft programs to Linux and open-source programs within the next three months.”
macnielI didn't know that the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein constitutes as an European government.
It's like those news sources constantly try to repackage old news in regards to Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein ditching Microsoft.

edgemaster72"We're done with Teams!" declared Digitalisation Minister Dirk Schrödter, speaking via an open-source video platform, in his announcement that the German state of Schleswig-Holstein will phase out all Microsoft software from government workplaces. The goal is to fully transition from Microsoft programs to Linux and open-source programs within the next three months.

It’s Schleswig-Holstein (a german state) and they’re pretty serious about it (they want to fully move to Open Source / Linux in the next three months)
The article states it's 30000 users! Doing that is 300 users per day! People who probably also want extra support initially.
It would be extremely impressive to do it that fast.
Surely with the money they would save in licensing they can hire more support staff to help bridge the gap
I'm not concerned about the economy but the logistics.
They will hopefully get it done, but I doubt they can do it in 3 months.
Saved you a click - because they're 'done with Teams'
I don't blame them, Teams is trash. It's the worst software that I have to work with on a daily basis.
Absolutely agree with you there. I have so many gripes with M$ UI/UX in general but the Teams team really seems to have taken it to new shitty levels.
You must be computer illiterate then.
I know how to use Teams. I know its trash because the layout is unintuitive and the UI is slow. I know these because all of the other sites and applications I use do it better.
You must never have used Teams
To truly understand how trash it is requires the opposite actually
Still, pretty good.
F**k corporations.
*fuck. You can say fuck on the internet. Don't worry, we won't tell your mommy.
Also, because this was news like 6 months ago and has been posted and reposted here roughly 84 million times.
Lemme has a mega hard on for Linux and just wants to continue to keep pushing the narrative with their 2% OS.
As a daily Linux user... Yeah.
Umm... Actually. 4.06%! Which still fully supports your point.
I couldn't resisit commenting on it though, because I'm on Lemmy and my act of commenting furthers your point, as well.
So everyone wins. Especially Linux on desktop. It wins twice, because I like it so much.
Is it cause Microsoft can go suck a fuck?
It is exactly because Microsoft does suck fucks.
*How exactly does one suck a fuck? * By installing Windows of course.
With consent, of course.
Except that Windows does it without.

I am actually getting tired of these rhetorical questions written as headlines. Just say what you want to say!
This is the kind of news I want to keep seein’!
