To save money, get rid of waste.
Every province, every government department, should get rid of Microsoft and Adobe.

I’ve tried it as a deskop and while I did get everything going it kinda felt like staying in an Airbnb. Everything looked nice and all the appliances matched but there were kinda blank areas where the owner didn’t know what to put there so they just painted it white. But that’s use as a desktop.
I ran a pfSense machine for a while and poking around in FreeBSD felt like a very coherent setup, not at all like the patchworkness of Linux. Guess I’m gonna have to set up a few VMs.
Tried which as a desktop? FreeBSD is mainly used for servers. I think OpenBSD gets used a lot more for daily driving on laptops (by the dev team for instance) and so may be more polished.
I tried OpenBSD with GNOME (because I am a Debian + GNOME guy). I suspect a lot of the shortcomings I ran into were GNOME related because, well you know.
