Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germany’s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.

The article is conveniently leaving out the part of the story where Munich decided to revert its Linux migration only after heavy lobbying by Microsoft.
Bayern is right wing as fuck.
It is, but this was a municipal project. Munich is quite frequently ruled by the SPD, but while they aren’t as right wing as the CSU, they are capable of just as much corruption and neoptism.
This is one of the most regrettable tales in history. :(
Also typical for German politics. Political corruption is practically legal in Germany. If you have enough money, you can buy pretty much any decision.
