How does Linux fit into the eco system that surrounds it? I have no idea what systems the Danish government uses, but being a "Microsoft shop" with Exchange, Active directory, Teams etc is not uncommon.
I hope they will address and fix or have work arounds for all of them.
I feel sorry for the people who work there havin to nmove to LibreOffice. IT is free, and it works, but if you have spent 20 years or more using Microsoft Office, it will feel quite foreign and it is missing a large set of features.
The ministry will slow down considerably for some time while the employees learn how to use LibreOffice in all the ways they are used to.
My experience from a few large companies and government institutions is that a lot of employees do not want to change, or learn a whole different system. Forcing this change upon all is guarateed to create friction.
Much more important than that the change

I am using MS Office for 30 years, and the current MS Office products feel offensively alien. Slown down in workflow.
Meanwhile, in the past 20 years or so, I was affiliated with organizations (plural) having mixed composition of Win/Mac/Linux support throughout.
