From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is an article from 2020 and I'm fairly sure it didn't happen.
Here’s one from 2022, in with only 20% of government computers still use Windows. This article also only mentions government computers. I say it’s very possible that the government has fully switched to Linux. I tried daily driving Deepin 20 once and the only major problem was that most of its packages were very outdated.
