    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 wig 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.

        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?

    • meyotch@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      It is exactly because Microsoft does suck fucks.

    Same reason as all the others - “digital sovereignty”.
