“In May 2020, it was reported that the newly elected politicians in Munich, while not going back to the original plan of migrating to LiMux wholesale, will prefer Free Software for future endeavours.”

So you lied. You claimed that Munich said "Hell no" to Microsoft Migration but here you spell it out yourself: The politicians did sell out to Microsoft and only newly elected politicians partially reversed it.

They use Windows and MS Office on desktops to this day and use Linux on servers and some FOSS tools ON WINDOWS DESKTOPS.

I was right, you lied.

I know for a fact that there are no official numbers, and it's estimated to be a split between the two OSes.

You claimed that Munich said "Hell no" to Microsoft Migration but here you spell it out yourself: The politicians did sell out to Microsoft and only newly elected politicians partially reversed it.

Ya, I'm not sure which part confuses you, but I'll try to help:

  • Politician A sells out to MS

  • Migration back to Windows begins

  • Politician B gets elected

  • Politician B says "hell no" (hyperbole) to Microsoft switch back

  • Politician B halts the migration

Still confused? Then I can't help you.

I already provided one: https://lemmy.world/comment/21796829

Cannot read a German news article about German news? Your problem. I'm 100% correct.

Politician A sells out to MS

The previous administration did.

Migration back to Windows begins

Which the previous administration did do and the new administration did not reverse on desktops. Windows and MS Office remain in use.

Politician B says “hell no” (hyperbole) to Microsoft switch back

There was no “hell no”. They adopted a few FOSS tools on Windows. Windows and MS Office remain in use. I already provided a source from June 2025, so quite recent.

Politician B halts the migration

You clamed there was no Microsoft migration. You claimed that any sort of Migrosoft migration is garbage misinformation. You're a blatant liar.

Did you read the article? Because nowhere in there does it say how many Linux or Windows desktops are being used.

The previous administration did.

Yes, Dieter Reiter. He's the one quoted in the article. He's the one that made that "deal" with Microsoft.

"We want to go back to the “industry standard,” said Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter."

Which the previous administration did do and the new administration did not reverse on desktops

Clearly you didn't read my sources.

There was no “hell no”. They adopted a few FOSS tools on Windows. Windows and MS Office remain in use. I already provided a source from June 2025, so quite recent.

Like I said, your 2025 source does not back up your claim that all the desktops are Windows.

You clamed there was no Microsoft migration. You claimed that any sort of Migrosoft migration is garbage misinformation.

I never "clamed" anything. But what I said was that the declaration of LiMux being a failure, and a reverting back to Windows wholesale is false.

You're a blatant liar.

Apparently you are also.
