To be honest, without a strong political or ideological motivation to do so, it's hard to see why any government organisation would use Linux on the desktop, or how they would justify it. Cost, perhaps, but that's always going to be difficult to really quantify, because what you save in licensing fees, you might end up spending on the migration process, hiring expert contractors, retraining users, etc. Since you're funded by taxes anyway, you're inevitably less motivated by purely economic concerns than by the quality and efficiency of the service you can provide. While I frequently see people defend desktop Linux and LibreOffice against hyperbolic claims about their inadequacy, I don't often see people promoting them as more usable for the everyday user than Windows 10. Other than the Windows 8 debacle, Microsoft keeps the happy-path of a typical business-user workflow in decent shape. Of course, a plan to migrate every computer to Windows is just that: a plan. And IT plans have a bad habit of colliding messily with reality. It seems more likely that, by 2023, Munich will have a lot of computers running Windows 10, a lot still running LiMux, and a lot still running old versions of Windows. Or maybe the political landscape will have shifted again, and they'll be in the middle of a switch to Apple, Chrome OS, Ubuntu, or who knows what?
