Re:German state planning to switch 25,000 PCs to LibreOffice by Abishek_Muthian on Friday November 19, 2021 @02:54AM (#29274851)
I remember in mid-late 2000s, I was surprised to see Linux and Libre tools everywhere in Govt. offices in India e.g.In Public transport systems.

Which might explain why India supposedly had the largest Linux user base[1] then(Might still hold true[2]).

Then Bill Gates made a deal with the Govt, Everything became Windows. Nadella made a even bigger deal, Everything became Azure.

P.S. Certain states in India e.g. Kerala could still be using FOSS in Govt. officers, but I'm not certain.
