I wonder if Denmark ditching Microsoft is directly related to Schleswig-Holstein doing it. Specially given they’re neighbours.
It’s not, but our direct neighbors announcing it first surely helped the people lobbying to get it considered. It’s also not the entire Government, just a small portion of it. Some municipalities have already been using Linux on user-facing computers like in libraries and I’m sure on the inside, as well.
The discussion is up because of the current American administration, and would continue to be up regardless of if Schleswig-Holstein or anyone else announcing their intentions to do the same.
It happened due to Microsoft disabling an Internation Criminal Court lawyer’s Office 365 account. This has spooked EU officials that a rogue US administration could harm it and there’s a stronger push now for digital sovereignty.
