Microsoft for Linux

While no specific Linux desktop distribution was mentioned, the desktop interface will be KDE Plasma.

Plasma 6 didn't have session restore at least before 6.4 on Wayland, and I took it out easy (which took out all other running apps) with OS-side OOM killer trying to compile an Android ROM.

I'm skeptical of Plasma in production after real-world testing, and I find it interesting a government switching to it seemingly on a whim (I doubt they thoroughly tested it). If they help upstream, then it'll be good.
 
but it wouldn't be the first time a German institution boasts about moving away from Windows, only to fully reverse the process a few years later.

Wasn't that a case where the lobbyists simply pushed in a whole new government? One that was more... generous.
 
To be honest, I'm not very much impressed.

It's a respectful effort, sure, but it wouldn't be the first time a German institution boasts about moving away from Windows, only to fully reverse the process a few years later.

Time will tell...
Denmark too.

KDE neon. Installed yesterday. Updated. Disk partitioned automatically. There was swap.
OK. I decided to remove swap through the native partition and disk manager. Deactivated. Deleted. Applied.
Rebooted.
Result: loading time increased SEVERAL TIMES.
OK. I try to return everything to its place. I launch the same native KDE partition and disk manager. Again I create a swap partition. Created. Activated.
OK. Rebooted. The same slow loading. That is, the system did not return to its original state (in terms of loading speed).
OK. Again I look at the disk geometry. It turned out that swap is not activated (activation is reset when the PC is turned off or when rebooting).
OK. Again I put swap in place. BUT! I exit the session (logout). Again I login. Swap works and is activated.
Further, I don't even want to pick at anything. Because I don't want to consume this childish diarrhea called KDE neon from the very beginning. Maybe I'm biased, but I do NOT need a system that crashes from a child's fart. Did they have something secret in the swap? Or, more precisely, did they tie the swap through scripts or systemd so that I can't return the swap to its place?
Code:
The war in Ukraine revealed our energy dependencies, and now we see there are also digital dependencies.
State offices are not independent. You are as dependent as before. They just move the beds in the brothel.

TFA mentions that Munich moved back to Windows in an attempt to lure Microsoft into moving their HQ there. They've since moved back to Linux:
