Denmark Ditches Microsoft, Embraces Open Source

Denmark's Ministry of Digitization is abandoning Microsoft products in favor of Linux and LibreOffice. This move prioritizes 'digital sovereignty' and reduces reliance on a few tech providers, fueled partly by concerns over US influence following President Trump's Greenland ambitions. Half the ministry will transition to Linux and LibreOffice this summer, with a complete switch expected by fall. Major cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus are following suit, highlighting a growing trend towards open-source solutions.
