Hamburg plans to replace Microsoft software with open source software

In 2004, the city of Munich in Germany felt that the Windows system was too expensive, so it was announced that all computers in the government department would be replaced with a free Linux system.

In 2014, the city of Munich in Germany felt that there were too many compatibility issues with the Linux system. At the same time, because they needed to spend a lot of money for developers and development companies to write Linux software needed by the government, so they planned to use the Windows system. The system was moved back to the Windows platform.

Today, the city of Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany, reported that the government also intends to use Linux and its open-source software to reduce its dependence on paid software.

According to a local German media report, the move in Hamburg is still in its infancy, and it is only in the plan, and it is unclear whether Hamburg wants to replace the Windows operating system or just want to use free software such as LibreOffice open-source software to replace this paid software.
