This has been long coming and has nothing to do with the tarrifs or even Trump. Germany has been trying to switch to Linux and LibreOffice for some years now because of the unwanted reliance on big tech.

Just wanted to say this because it might look like something that could be done because of the current US bullshit, which isn't the main reason.

You are right, sadly going FOSSS and back again is a German federal government hobby since decades. I hope this time it sticks.
