Digitization Minister to Phase Out Microsoft in Ministry

From next month, Danish Digital Minister Caroline Stage plans to phase out the use of Microsoft and its programs.
Over the summer, half of the ministry’s staff will switch from Windows to another operating system, Libre Office. Caroline Stage aims to lead by example and test this transition herself.
The goal is for the ministry to be completely free of Microsoft by autumn. If the transition proves too complicated, they will revert temporarily.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy called “digital sovereignty,” aiming to reduce Denmark’s dependence on US-based tech giants.
Recent global events and debate around data protection have intensified calls for digital independence. Political parties, including Enhedslisten and Alternativet, support reducing reliance on American technology companies.

Doesn't sound right
They're trying.
Doesn't sound like it
AI Blog slop.
But but but, Libre Office isn’t an operating system! Now I’m curious what distro they’ve adopted.
What you're referring to as linux is actually libre office/linux. 🤠
I'd hope mint but it's probably Ubuntu

What’s the relation with Mint and the UK?

Is there any evidence that open source Ubuntu has ever been compromised by an intelligence agency (as opposed to things like that search marketing deal they had years ago)?

Mint is Ubuntu.

I believe it's just Microsoft Office by the fall, not the OS. Her quotes in here say as much. Though she intends to get rid of the OS eventually too
