This state made the open-source shift, and chances are it won't be the last.

    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.

          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.

        Lemme has a mega hard on for Linux and just wants to continue to keep pushing the narrative with their 2% OS.

          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.
