It's been tried in a bunch of places in Germany. Usually they never fully transition, or give up and switch back. Windows is really entrenched for the desktop.
The then mayor of Munich Christian Ude had to essentially endure bribing attempts by Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates in person to switch back to Windows. After 14 years the return to Microsoft happend after MS miraculously decided to move its German headquarters to the city and pay their juicy taxes there.
In the meantime, Munich had saved millions upon millions in licence fees. Fuck Microsoft and fuck corrupt politicians.
