This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The news I saw said they were dumping the move to Linux, and resuming Windows use. This post says nothing about the underlying OS in use (neither "Windows," nor "Linux" exist on the page).
However, before this work could be completed, the Danish government was reorganised in June 2026, and the Ministry of Digitization was abolished as a standalone ministry. Its responsibilities and employees were transferred into a new ministerial structure.
As a consequence, the pilot lost its original organizational setting and was put on hold before the planned evaluation could be completed.
To our knowledge, no formal assessment of the final suitability of Collabora Office was completed, nor was a formal conclusion reached regarding the outcome of the pilot.
The interruption should therefore not be confused with a completed technical evaluation or a decision that the technology was unsuitable.
As long as they use only software that works cross platform, they will have very low switching costs if they do eventually decide to move to linux.
Switching away from MS Office dependency before switching away from Windows indeed makes sense.
Are you responding to something that got edited out? Who mentioned OSs?
The first phase was successfully completed. Collabora Office was integrated with F2, demonstrating that individual users could freely switch between Collabora Office and Microsoft Office when editing documents, while maintaining their documents within the same government platform and using Microsoft-compatible document formats.
This could be weasily phrased. I recall a comment mentioning sticking point was documents in Microsoft-specific formats. Obviously open formats would work in Office.
