I have nothing against Linux or libreoffice. I just think forcing thousands of workers to drastically alter their work environment is going to be traumatic and I’ll lay odds that in 12 months they switch back or to a hybrid model.
Or what’s just as likely, workers will use personal Windows computers to do their work and shuffle things onto their work computers as needed. People don’t like change.
Having to bring your own equipment to work seems to be such a big thing in America that Americans assume it works the same everywhere. I'm pretty sure German workers wouldn't even dream of using their own computers for work. Not that they even could, because German employers would never let those computers onto their network in the first place.
