The case you’re referring to was the adoption of a Linux based OS (LiMux) by the city administration of Munich - here is the Wikipedia article on the subject.

Unfortunately, Munich totally rolled back Linux adoption for some shady reasons later on:

Wonderful idea - full support on my part 👍🏻

… The Fediverse can only acquire steady growth if engagement in some of the bigger communities picks up and new users are noticing that there is constantly something going on around here - I’m sceptic that with the natural spread of thematically related smaller communities over the Fediverse, we can make that happen without pushing some incentives for community centralization…

I’m totally with you, that’s a really important functionality to ease people’s GDPR concerns!
