Governments that want to make the switch to Linux should actively contribute. They shouldn't rush into anything. They should figure out possible technical difficulties beforehand and even fund open source software to help deal with those issues.
They need to plan for pushback from employees. Change is difficult and people will complain about stuff that they will grow to appreciate over time.

A quotation from Kurt Vonnegut
Fascism was a fairly popular political philosophy which made sacred whatever nation and race the philosopher happened to belong to.Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) American novelist, journalist
Breakfast of Champions, ch. 17 (1973)

I would remove it, too, but for other reasons. Although he served in the Navy, and having his name on a ship being a just recognition of his fight for democracy, the Labour and Civil rights movement leader Harvey Milk should never have been co-opted by an imperialistic and colonialist pink-washing war machine.
The industrial-military complex uses cornered, low income working class kids as cannon fodder and includes gay and black people in their ranks, to expand their global exploitation military tools and call it "social progress". That's just "rainbow capitalism".
American youth (all colours, genders and sexualities) should get free education, tuition, board and bed, not military deployment in exchange for an education - trading it for death, disability or trauma for life, all for the sake of oil companies and weapon manufacturer shareholders profits.
All the while participating (willingly or not) on the destruction of lives and extraction of resources from many working class people in countries around the world - their fellow humans.
- Keep your eyes on the ball, boys, girls and everyone in between. -
Hegseth is still a nazi cunt, though.
