Germany is divided in 16 districts. For example Schleswig-Holstein, or Bavaria ... One is not bound to use the same IT hardware/software like the other.
When one district works on the rollout of LibreOffice, another one may work on the rollout for Copilot.

I did read the announcement in german https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/landesregierung/ministerien-behoerden/I/Presse/PI/2024/CdS/240403_cds_it-arbeitsplatz.html it does not say which Linux to use. And it looks like they use on premise AD and want to work with AD-Connectors to Sharepoint and Exchange.

I still use Windows 7 one my Gaming Tower-PC. Now quiet and less energy consuming than before. i7 no longer OC to 4.5 GHz. Palit KalmX Nvidia 1650 passive cooled graphics.

Windows 7 is great. I still got the initial Windows 7 installation from ~2014. That I moved via Backup Software from HDD to SSD, then with a workaround (Macrium Reflect) to the Samsung 950 Pro M.2 PCI-Express. And I use it almost every day.

For some people, bitlocker may be important to protect their files. And maybe files from clients. I do not got that obligation.

Had problems because of the blue color

big pupils means exitement and are used as an effect in movies. I watched Possession (1981) lately and in some rational/serious scenes theyre smaller. In excessive scenes, theyre bigger. That was good visible in a movie theater.

The LG G2 was great, 2013. It was a real competitor to all the high price phones of that time.

The G3 was not really better, the new thing was beeing modular instead of 1-piece.
The G4 was again not really better, the new thing was Leather back.

And Huawei became a bigger and bigger competitor from 2014 on. While Apple and Samsung were settled.

Just a correction. Gene Simmons is the bass guitar player. He is singing some songs, but the main singer is Paul Stanley.

And "former" is misleading. He was always been the bass guitar player. If "former" is meant that the band is no longer existing, this is not quiet right. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley did events like boat tours with fans and also concerts before corona.
