@bert_hubert yeah, "start" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. I'm under no illusion that MS lobbyists will do their best to kill off this experiment, but I found it fascinating that they specifically did not want a company behind the open source project. Usually governments wouldn't touch a project without a big company backing it.

This is blowing my mind: The Dutch government decided to start switching from Windows to NixOS because it doesn't have a company behind it, increasing their sovereignty. They've ruled out OpenSUSE and Fedora _because_ of their commercial ties (SUSE and IBM/Red Hat).
