Didn't they do something similar a decade ago and reverted to MS Office?
- schroeding 5y agoMaybe you're thinking about Munich, which changed from MS Office to OpenOffice to LibreOffice and then back to MS Office. They may change again soon to something open source, too :-)
- soco 5y agoYeah the new coalition signed all those agreements back in 2020 (Munich, Hamburg, Dortmund...) but I don't know how far are they with actually implementing those plans.
- raxxorrax 5y agoMunich reverted to Windows in 2017, then reverted back to Linux in 2020. it is expected that the 2017 rollback was a case of corruption and a waste of money. The first shift was allegedly explicitly against the wishes of many users.
- dathinab 5y ago> case of corruption Probably, I mean the arguments where supper questionable. Like oh mail on my phone is not working, that is because mail is now run by Linux we must switch back ... but it wasn't, Mail was one a the few systems which didn't switch to Linux. Or very questionable calculations about the price of buying some "customer support" (Linux IT Consulting). At least as far as I remember.
