Dutch government switches to NixOS-based system over Windows
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Sept, 11:37 · Archive
The Dutch government is adopting a NixOS-based system called DAWO for its desktops.
The Dutch government is moving towards a sovereign desktop system by adopting DAWO, which combines a Linux-based client with open source tools for cloud, communications and collaborative work. This replaces Windows. TechRadar reports the shift is driven partly by US sanctions concerns, with the Netherlands being attracted to NixOS because its Foundation is located there.
