    Awesome! What about the Dutch government, though? I’d be surprised if a far-righter like Gert Wilders agrees with this …

      I have yet to see the government actually do something about this (because it’s costly), but I don’t see why Wilders in particular would be against this? This seems totally unrelated to his key issues.

        Well a pro-trump anti-eu politician probably sees little reason to change to european/foss

          He’s not very vocally pro-Trump at the moment. To be honest, the whole Trump-situation is his worst nightmare as, firstly, Trump’s idiocy has changed the political debate in the Netherlands from revolving around Wilders’ favourite topic (immigration) to national defence, and secondly, in this new debate he’s at a disadvantage as he’s been openly pro-Trump, and also openly pro-Putin.

          But Vincent is correct that Wilders is a one-issue party. On other issues than migration, the PVV pretty much just goes along with the right-wing liberal VVD.

        After the switch, the cost of using FOSS is zero, while m$ windows isn’t… So I guess it’ll pay itself.
