It’s kind of funny that what’s supposed to be a punishment is actually just setting them free and letting them see how good it is on the outside.
The US government decided to sanction the International Criminal Court in The Hague which meant that things like Microsoft’s services all had to be shut down for anyone who worked there.
That got the Netherlands to realize that, oh, they’re really reliant on American software for a lot of what they do, and so they are working to jump ship on over to Linux.
The plan is to get the country’s government off of Windows & Microsoft services by the end of next year and specifically get onto the NixOS distro.
