I wish these decisions would cause a domino effect around the world.
I don't think so. Our gendarmerie is running a Linux distro since 10ish years, but the National Police is planning to change all the computers for windows 11. They are doing almost the same thing but there is a painful difference in Microsoft's ass licking
Well, it's just a wish but I hope they understand that especially government departments need to switch from a spy OS. Congrats to gendarmerie.
