Migration to Linux and Nextcloud in Government Workstations

The chapter explores the migration of 30,000 government workstations in Germany to Linux and Nextcloud, learning from past failures in Munich. Emphasizing server-side migration before addressing client-side applications, the discussion highlights the shift towards browser-based and cloud applications and the importance of using existing Linux distributions. The chapter also touches on the maturity in software development lifecycle, owning data, and reminiscing about past cloud services.
