So quite throwing gratuitous and baseless assumptions.

The opinion of one bozo does not necessarily project the true state of
governmental adoption of OSS. There are plenty of examples where Linux is
being championed as an alternative to proprietary software. To wit:
Germany, France, China, Korea, Brazil, and lots more.

So don't bother yourself any longer with such nonesense and quite trolling.
If Linux is the failure that you describe, it will soon be gone. If it
