Denmark's Ministry of Digital Affairs is rapidly transitioning from Microsoft products to Linux and LibreOffice, with completion expected by November 2024. The move aims to strengthen digital sovereignty and reduce dependency on foreign proprietary software. Germany's northernmost state is following suit, transitioning from Windows to Linux and Microsoft cloud services to German-controlled infrastructure. France has been ahead of this trend since 2005, deploying over 100,000 Linux machines in their police force and developing their own Linux distribution called Gendu. These transitions offer significant cost savings by eliminating license fees, extending hardware lifecycles, and creating local tech jobs while improving national security.
