Turkey has a pretty ambitious plan for Linuxification. Same with the Münich city government in Germany.

Same with the Münich city government in Germany.

However, they failed with their LiMuX project in the past, since the politicians got coffers of money from Microsoft. No shit, it was not a technical failure, but they completely fucked up the IT department in terms of resources and then blamed it on Linux.

And they still do it! See this for LiMuX news: https://www.heise.de/suche/?q=LiMux

Example:

Munich City Councilor Judith Greif complains that the Information Technology Department of the Bavarian capital is not committed to the new course toward free software that was adopted after a change of government. The IT coordinator of the Green Party refers to a demand of the city council, for instance, according to which the department should propose five projects that could be realized as Open Source in the short term. These have already been named – "But nothing has happened since then."
