I really hope GNU/Linux can run on old Fax machines and the printing out emails workflow works smoothly.

Seriously. While I support the change to foss solutions, this is going to go over like a fart in church for the people that were just forced off fax machines and into email a year ago. And there’s a zero percent chance that Germany will use any of those savings for a support infrastructure. The German way is to figure it out, and endure the suffering while you do with the bare minimum of support from people that barely know the shit themselves.
I have a friend who is principal at a high school here in DE and the stories she’s been telling me about the new push to get tablets into the hands of kids is straight fkn Monty Python level absurdity… from the staff!
Germany painted themselves into a corner with their refusal to modernize their tech infrastructure. The “it’s not broken, so don’t fix it” mentality has left them 20 years behind all their neighbors. But, hey, traditions over everything… amirite?

You might want to read this article. Yes, it’s in german. Yes, it’s behind a paywall. But your analysis is totally wrong here

In German and paywall. You can read it again for me. Or maybe fax it on over.

I didn’t prove shit. I don’t have to explain anything to you, motherfucker. Show your sources! … fkn reddit nonsense.
I live in Germany, it fkn sucks. Germans don’t realize the shit they’re missing while they’re too busy being embarrased and ashamed about their past. Everything is decades behind. Autobahn’s a busted piece of shit, rathaus still uses pen and paper, every restaurant sells the same exact shit: schnitzel, sausage, rump steak, pasta. There’s no variety. Every village looks the same, every city has the same exact stores. Everyone does the same shit, every day, week, year. You go to Austria in winter, Spain in summer. Like robots. The fear of change completely stalls progress here. I can drive a couple hours to Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Czech or Netherlands and it’s like I was zapped into the future. Far more sophisticated, advanced… better.
This country lacks cohesive leadership and it shows. And now some assholes want to get the fourth reich fired up (afd). Good news for them… the hard part, where you turn people into obedient drones, is already done!
If you believe that the move to FOSS office solutions will go well, you’re an idiot on top of everything else wrong with you. Just one of them .
My sources are from living here as an outsider. Seeing that Nazi shit like heilpraktikers still exist. Old habits die hard, eh? Good luck with Libre Office.
