>Given the importance of this matter, an ad-hoc coalition of The Document Foundation, KDE, OSBA, and the FSFE collected questions about this motion (German), as well as the processes that lead up to it. We reached out to all members of the city council prior to the public hearing. Additionally, we sent a call for action (German) to all our supporters in Germany and Austria, asking them to get in contact with politicians on this issue. The reaction was phenomenal. During the public hearing, politicians quoted some of our question, and said that they had never received as much input from the public before.
>The strategy must be clear on which applications on LiMux-Basis will no longer be needed. The city council is to be informed on the extent that this requires write-offs of prior investments. Furthermore, a rough budget to illustrate the costs associated with the unification is to be presented. The city council will then make a final decision. ***
>Throughout the transition, the various departments are free to deploy the new, unified solution building on the 'Windows-Basis-Client', or continue using their existing, multi-tier (Window/LiMux) solution, depending on technical status.
>Strategic goal must remain that administrative tools shall be usable independently of the client-side operating system (e.g. web apps, virtualisation, remote desktop services)."

This thread had a lot of replies when the topic was "munich is ditching linux". No thoughts now?

No thoughts?. It's a bit sad Sup Forums only cares when the news hurts one side but not when the situation changes or when it's debunked.
Carson Sanders
We got those threads from MS shills and Sup Forums croasboarders, everyone here knew the major was literally a MS shill I just want to see the fuckfest he will get from his citizens when local IT shops servicing the government are replaced by Pajeet in India
Thomas Perez
I hate their new mayor. He's a literal Microshill who gets his reports for trashing Linux from a Microsoft partner, who's offices are literally in MS' HQ.
Although I don't know why they don't just use SuSE Enterprise instead of making their own distro. It's very well polished and is also German.
Jordan Ortiz
True, also keeping the thread alive a bit more.

Munich has used a custom Linux distribution for over a decade. recently, a new mayor who is a heavy MS advocate has started a transition to Windows workstations. Freetards are now protesting it.
Jonathan Richardson
But I thought Microsoft loves Linux >:(
Cameron Scott
Most of them were Sup Forumsiggers shitposting and shills.
Leo Anderson
Yeah, why not let them use linux and provide proper documentation for their version of OOXML their program creates? or better, make a linux desktop version of MSO :D
Gabriel Wright
What even is their reason for making the switch?
Michael Gutierrez
The new mayor is a Microcuck.
Kevin Baker
The moment software became a political issue, you already lost. Political attitudes change all the time.
Leo Wood
>He's a literal Microshill who gets his reports for trashing Linux from a Microsoft partner The report didn't even trash LiMux, it blamed everything on organizational deficiencies within the government of Munich He's just paying back MS for moving HQ's to Munich

Ask Nintendo. Maybe money.
Praise the corruption.

underrated post

Don't forget that Munich's mayor was in favor of LiMuX all the time and he was proud of the whole project, but then he suddenly completely changed his mind... This happend pretty much at the same time, when MS moved their German HQ to Munich. Then he started blaming LiMuX for his misconfigured mail client on his phone. A little while after that, suddenly everyone started having issues with LiMuX, although is was already in use for over 10 years. Coincidence? Even though they are using their own distro, which is highly questionable, there is no way that all these "issues" can occur at the same time. Why are bad workflows being blamed after 10 fucking years of using LiMuX? Also several IT-news websites have reported that everyone of the head politicians in Munich are incompetent as fuck on that matter. Surprise? I'm thinking that the mayor is comparing the UI of Windows 10 or M$ Office to a custom themed LiMuX KDE and OpenOffice, when he's arguing for a "Windows Basis Client". He's a clueless, bribed and retarded shill, who doesn't know or want to accept that every software has its strengths and weaknesses. I don't expect enything else from bavarian CSU politicians. Dumb and corrupt as fuck.

>but then he suddenly completely changed his mind The mayor himself have been replaced, not his mind.
Owen Gutierrez

Jonathan Bailey
Good. We only need to kick the president out and hope the next one will be better
