This city [Lyon] is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for OnlyOffice and Linux - here's why

So, why is Lyon making this move? Well, it's not due to something in the water. Like the other European entities, Lyon's move is part of a broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on Microsoft software. The simple truth is that many European-based governments no longer trust their data or software to American-based companies under President Donald Trump. They fear their data could be read and that Microsoft could kill their services on Trump's behalf. While Microsoft Chairman and General Counsel Brad Smith dismissed such worries and promised that the company would stand behind its EU customers against political pressure, he hasn't managed to convince some European Union (EU) governments.
