linux desktop migration

About this tag
The linux desktop migration tag covers real-world transitions from Microsoft Windows to Linux-based operating systems, particularly in public-sector and consumer contexts. Discussions include Schleswig-Holstein's state-wide shift from a proprietary Microsoft-centric desktop to an open-source ecosystem, with LibreOffice as the standard office suite and Linux desktops in trial. Another major topic is Zorin OS 18 reaching one million downloads shortly after launch, with nearly 78% of downloads originating from Windows machines, driven by Windows 10's end-of-support deadline. These threads explore migration strategies, cost savings, user adoption, and the practical challenges of moving from Windows to Linux in both enterprise and home environments.
