Godspeed. I hope this project will be successful. This would be great for Linux in general.

Honestly, it would be great for everyone including Windows users if Microsoft was made aware that they have viable competition.

Hope it goes better than in Münich, though

In 2003, Munich announced it would be moving some 14,000 PCs off Windows and to Linux. In 2013, the LiMux project finished, but high associated costs and user dissatisfaction resulted in Munich announcing in 2017 that it would spend the next three years reverting back to Windows.

Indeed, hopefully Microsoft won't attempt to sabotage the project again: https://techrights.org/o/2021/11/23/misinformation-about-munich/.
