Instead, Bavaria will pursue a “sovereign basic workspace” based on open-source components

This will hopefully encourage other administrations to do the same.

*largest by area, second biggest by population

Also the state most friendly with US corporations, the most conservative (not equal to the most reich-wing), and usually the one most at odds with everything that doesn't come with thick layers of proprietarity and intellectual property.

This is not to say Bavaria = Bad (though, often it is)
This is to say that Microslop is royally fucked when EVEN BAVARIA drops them.
