Governments are ditching Windows and Microsoft Office — new letter reveals the "real costs of switching to Windows 11"


As governments ditch Windows 11 for Linux, one of the foundations that supports LibreOffice makes a strong case for individuals to follow suit.

The letter highlights the fact that Linux works on all PCs that ran Windows 10, eliminating the need to purchase new hardware to stay up to date. "For individual users, public administrations, schools and businesses, this combination offers more than enough: it is mature and secure, and is already in use worldwide for mission-critical workloads," said The Document Foundation of Linux and LibreOffice. While running Linux on a second partition, you can test software compatibility and see if the operating system can handle your workflow, all while being able to pop back over to Windows when needed.
