A bit misleading title. Half of the relatively small digitization ministry will be testing it during the summer, to evaluate if its an option. If it goes well, the rest will follow. If not, they will switch back to Microsoft
Makes sense, you can't just switch
Also, originally the media made it sound like they switched to Linux as well
Some articles even mention the whole country switching to it so there are some very optimistic headlines being fired at optimistic readers at the moment.
That said, Denmark pays huges amount to Microsoft for very little. I work in a nursing home where they use Microsoft Teams only as a file hosting system for word documents. Its a huge mess of people making files, to describe anything and then they tell you that you can find instructions in MS teams..
