French police move from windows to ubuntu linux if I remember correctly some of their software, or maybe it was people, who did not like Windows XP? this article is not paywalled and the first place I read it says I am out of free articles.

Why are right wingers still on windows?
Because they hate migration.
Badum tss...

Most TMS systems are under $100/month for 5 trucks. While I appreciate them going full F(l)OSS, this was likely because the company owner isn't very good at computers and was trying to run his business on WhatsApp instead of one of the hundreds of professional options.
Although from a purely software perspective this might be a good thing, from a logistics perspective would this scale to temp control, shock detection, cross-border usage, is it secure, is it prone to fraud, is it safe to use while driving, does it scale to 10, 100, 1000 trucks...?

I've had homelab migrations bigger than this. Sorry, but moving 5 workstations to Linux is hardly newsworthy.

LibreOffice replacing the commercial office suite.
how to open and save documents in LibreOffice, how to access files on Nextcloud,
Also recommend them to follow the office suites nagging and save future documents in Open Document Format. Because OOXML (.docx & co.) is the villain here in compatibility and formatting issues.

Most logistics companies in my country run on browser so if it is the same in Italy it shouldn't be too hard to switch

I intern at a security company and half of our office (including me) runs some kind of a Linux distribution. I got Ubuntu on the company-assigned computer.
At work we have been slowly pushing into Linux instead of traditional IIS/windows servers. Its SO much easier to deploy images/docker containers. Licensing is sane. The costs are slowly going down.

An hour a day saved per employee is great! And it would be great if these kinds of things were also documented in a shared place, so that people doing such migrations could share experiences.
It would be great if these company's pay part or all of their savings to a Linux foundation to push open source forward
A good simple use case. I wish we had example with larger companies!
