Lol, why? I don’t use Piefed and besides, I work on my own open source project.
But seriously, why would I contribute to a project I don’t use and have no association with?

It isn’t. Otherwise security research would never happen for proprietary software and services.

Any claims around E2EE is pointless, since it’s impossible to verify.
This is objectively false. Reverse engineering is a thing, as is packet inspection.

Cannot read a German news article about German news? Your problem. I’m 100% correct.
Did you read the article? Because nowhere in there does it say how many Linux or Windows desktops are being used.
The previous administration did.
Yes, Dieter Reiter. He’s the one quoted in the article. He’s the one that made that “deal” with Microsoft.
“We want to go back to the “industry standard,” said Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter.”
Which the previous administration did do and the new administration did not reverse on desktops
Clearly you didn’t read my sources.
There was no “hell no”. They adopted a few FOSS tools on Windows. Windows and MS Office remain in use. I already provided a source from June 2025, so quite recent.
Like I said, your 2025 source does not back up your claim that all the desktops are Windows.
You clamed there was no Microsoft migration. You claimed that any sort of Migrosoft migration is garbage misinformation.
I never “clamed” anything. But what I said was that the declaration of LiMux being a failure, and a reverting back to Windows wholesale is false.
You’re a blatant liar.
Apparently you are also.

They use Windows and MS Office on desktops to this day and use Linux on servers and some FOSS tools ON WINDOWS DESKTOPS.
Citation needed.
I know for a fact that there are no official numbers, and it’s estimated to be a split between the two OSes.
You claimed that Munich said “Hell no” to Microsoft Migration but here you spell it out yourself: The politicians did sell out to Microsoft and only newly elected politicians partially reversed it.
Ya, I’m not sure which part confuses you, but I’ll try to help:
-
Politician A sells out to MS
-
Migration back to Windows begins
-
Politician B gets elected
-
Politician B says “hell no” (hyperbole) to Microsoft switch back
-
Politician B halts the migration
Still confused? Then I can’t help you.

Are you afraid to provide any reference to your claim? Do you need extra time making up stuff?
No. Just calling out your double standard. If you didn’t provide sources for your statements, then it’s rich for you to demand sources from me.

“In May 2020, it was reported that the newly elected politicians in Munich, while not going back to the original plan of migrating to LiMux wholesale, will prefer Free Software for future endeavours.”
There are no official numbers, but the rollback to Windows was halted. It’s estimated that it’s currently a mix of Linux and Windows. And it’s been acknowledged that the move back to Windows was almost entirely political due to influence from Microsoft.

Don’t listen to that other commenter. They’re wrong about the Munich LiMux story. It keeps getting repeated but it’s not correct.
- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 1 week ago:
No, please stop with this garbage misinformation. Microsoft made a (suspected) under the table deal with the Munich government at the time to setup a Microsoft office in Munich if they switched back to Windows.
That’s what the news reported on endlessly. That’s the narrative that keeps getting falsely repeated over and over, and no one ever checks the BS stories they spread.
The rest of the story didn’t make headlines, where the new incoming Munich government said “hell no!” (prob in German) and continued the Linux rollout.
Today the environment is a mix of Linux and Windows, but they already have a large focus on FOSS software.
Despite the astonishingly stupid decision to roll their own in-house distro (LiMux), the program was massively successful, with Linux users filling only 40% the number of tickets the Windows users did.

- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 1 week ago:
I’ve been doing active development for high processing stuff (computer vision and AI) on a Xeon 1230v5 (Skylake), 32GB of RAM, and a 1080ti up until a few months ago (before RAM prices skyrocketed). It was perfectly usable.
The only place where it didn’t do well was in compile times and newer AAA games that were CPU bound. But for 99% of games it was fine.
The only time I ran into RAM issues was when I had a lot of browser tabs open and multiple IDEs running. For gaming and any other non-dev task, 32GB is more than plenty.
- Comment on Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever 2 weeks ago:
My fervent hope is that, someday in the future, people can build a gaming PC and just forego Windows to save $100.
That’s what you said. And I’m not even sure what you mean by “I ment who build a custom PC. That’s reality bro.”
The reality is that a good portion of gamers either build their own systems or buy “custom built” systems from a company that builds them. It’s mainly only OEM manufacturers that include a Windows license, like HP, Lenovo, MSI, and generally laptops.
So ultimately there’s no scenario where your comment makes sense.

So you’re telling me that someone who builds a custom PC with the intention of installing Linux will go out and buy a Windows license?

Go with Bazzite. It’s built off of Bluefin which is an atomic version of Fedora.
Bazzite has all the accoutrements for gaming built into it.
- Comment on Make Microsoft's CEO cry by installing Chrome's 'Microslop' extension 2 weeks ago:
Go with Mint, Pop!_Os, or Bazzite.
Ubuntu is only really a good choice if you want corporate/business level support. And even then there are other options.
- Comment on Make Microsoft's CEO cry by installing Chrome's 'Microslop' extension 2 weeks ago:
I recently poked around online to see if my rtx5070ti would be supported and found a bunch of people facing issues, and that Mint and Ubuntu weren’t recommended.
No idea what you could have been reading, but by and large, there’s very little difference between distros when it comes to GPU drivers.
However, if you want the smoothest experience, then just use a distro that comes with drivers that install with the OS. Best one I can recommend is Bazzite. You won’t have to mess around with GPU drivers at all and it doesn’t matter which Nvidia card you have, they all use the exact same drivers.

Good news! Your future hope is reality’s past!
Seriously though, who buys a copy of Windows for a custom built PC that they install Linux on? I’ve built a bunch of computers over the past decade or so and I haven’t purchased a copy of Windows since the early 2000s. And technically that was just an OEM licence that came with a laptop.

All I want is to be able to run Adobe software on Linux properly.
Never going to happen. They are a horrible company that actively refuses to port anything to Linux.
There are other far superior options that do run natively on Linux. DaVinci Resolve is one, it works as both a NLE and a compositor and is objectively better than anything Adobe has to offer.
- Comment on Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever 2 weeks ago:
It really depends on what programs professionals are using at their jobs though, and I imagine most will just use Windows on a separate work computer and not deal with the random issues with compatibility and troubleshooting
If you’re talking about professional VFX tools, then they all have 1st party Linux support. And no, Adobe Premiere and After Effects don’t fall into that category.
If its something more simple like Microsoft Word then you could probably get away with using it on linux though.
You can just use the PWA versions of Microsoft 365 Copilot App (formally known as Microsoft 365, formerly known as Office 365, formerly known as Microsoft Office). And better yet, LibreOffice is fully supported on Linux and arguably better than Microsoft 365 Copilot App.
