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

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.
