Unfortunately your information seems a little outdated. It’s true that Germany did try it for a moment until Microsoft showed up with suitcases of money in the chancellor office so to speak and he announced to essentially move away from open source again.

Though on the federal level, there‘s still some hope. Maybe.

You are talking about Limux which started 2 decades ago, but there are other initiatives to enforce oss software in german government.
