Aaah, that’s a bit of a stretch. It is one Ministry doing the switch, which is nice, but hardly qualifies as “Denmark” or “the Danish government”.
Also, they replace MS Office with Libreoffice for about 50% of users. It's also only the Ministry of Digital Affairs, which is the smallest Ministry with only 79 employees. No mention of Linux at all.
Complete shit article. Talk about one feather becoming five hens.
The real story is that Denmark is working on digital independence.
Not sure this belongs in THIS community. It's not so much "positive news" as it is "a thing that happened".
It being positive depends on your own perspective. What makes it positive?
I guess it qualifies as news. Barely. I certainly wouldn't call it newsworthy.
It's like saying "This country has switched to decaf coffee" is positive news. It's not a bad thing. It's not really a good thing either. It's just something that factually happened, without much more to say.
Per your definition, this community should not exist because no news are universally good. Therefore no news belong here
It sounds more like you don't quite belong here
It's positive because it means further investment into Linux by vested organizations that don't have profit motives (eg governments) and less investment into proprietary profit-driven spyware (Microsoft). So very positive IMHO
