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
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.
- 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.
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.
  
  How exactly does one suck a fuck?
  With consent, of course.
Yet another shitty article title, here's why
Same reason as all the others - “digital sovereignty”.
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’!
