Sounds like the shift to Linux is happening. I'm guessing by law. So, the first step is prep and planning, they aren't going to back out of it, it just takes time to move an entire government over to a new OS.

Nah, the article is trash. There is no law, ministries have been asked to come up with a plan of what's possible to do to switch but I highly doubt most will switch. The education ministry recently renewed it's Microsoft contract and I don't think there is anything enforcing a switch, it's only a "please look at what could be possible" thing. The only thing switching for sure is the DINUM, about 250 people, a lot of them already using Linux. But this is the start of an experiment where they are building some NixOS configurations that could be used if a larger switch was to happen.
