    Government departments are slowly ditching windows because everything they need to do can be done on Linux without malware attacks and every application screaming “buy me!” every time you open it.

    Also educational institutions (at least in my State) do give basic Ubuntu training. I learned Gimp ,Inkscape and Libre office as part of my curriculum.

    And we love free stuff.

      There is also the reduction of dependencies on non-democratic institutions for the government to function! The America first policy held by the US for a few years triggered a lot of planning from governments to increase their ability to sovereign from the states.
