I believe Germany is working on that. Recently they have started to migrate 30K systems or so from windows to Linux.
Yes, Germany likes to spend money going back and forth between FOSS and Microsoft.
Germany be like: let’s move to Linux in the hardest and most likely way to fail. You know, gotta find creative ways to fill your consulting “friends” pockets. :)
Afaik the stated reasons for moving back were pure BS, or at least blown out of proportion. It mainly came down to the people in charge being very “friendly” with M$. Munich got a new major, he publicly called software-freedom “idiological nonsense”, asked a consulting firm that partners with and sells M$ products to analyse the situation, and everyone was shocked when they recommended M$.
I know! Profits.
As much as im a foss person I could see if failing on “merits” in the sense it started in 2003. SuSE might have been worked out but they took 10 years and if at that point they were still using something decided in 2003 it was bound to be messed up. Seriously we are talking when open office was nascent and star office was a thing.
Brazil is trialing Linux right now too.
LiMux, Munich already had perfectly fine systems running Linux but M$ corruption made them switch back
