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)

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] crumbguzzler5000@feddit.org 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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'

[–] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I don't blame them, Teams is trash. It's the worst software that I have to work with on a daily basis.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] NotProLemmy@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still, pretty good.

F**k corporations.

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

*fuck. You can say fuck on the internet. Don't worry, we won't tell your mommy.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Also, because this was news like 6 months ago and has been posted and reposted here roughly 84 million times.

[–] StonerCowboy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

As a daily Linux user... Yeah.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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?

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 month ago

It is exactly because Microsoft does suck fucks.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

*How exactly does one suck a fuck? * By installing Windows of course.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How exactly does one suck a fuck?

With consent, of course.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Except that Windows does it without.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago

Yet another shitty article title, here's why

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 15 points 1 month ago

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

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I am actually getting tired of these rhetorical questions written as headlines. Just say what you want to say!

[–] atlien51@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

This is the kind of news I want to keep seein’!
