Wanna bet U.S. company lobbying will push the current administration to pressure the EU over these shifts away from Microsoft? And bring it into the ongoing tariff negotiations?

Can't agree more

Again, open source is not enough: you may have a chance with _LEAN_ open source, that stable in time, down to the SDK (computer languages), file formats, protocols.

Moving from the USA to Russia for the office suite!

They use LibreOffice, which is open-source. [0] That suite is part of the The Document Foundation [1] which headquarters are in Berlin, Germany. How is this related to Russia?

The article only mentions LibreOffice in connection with Denmark, not France.

Since when did LibreOffice on Linux become "Russia"?

It never did,
but the article mentions ONLYOFFICE which seems to have strong connection to Russia, this is what your parent meant

Thx, I indeed misread that in the article. Sill, it's AGPL v3.0 so if the French are ok with Open Source I guess they could always sever the cord.

Thats open source self hosted software. If you dont trust the prebuilt binaries you can inspect the source code and build it from source yourself
We need more of this.
