South Korean government to switch to Linux: ministry
I used to support our office in S. Korea.<p>It&#x27;s true they depend super heavily on ActiveX and other weird applets&#x2F;software that runs only on Windows and&#x2F;or IE.<p>A lot of the communication with the government (yearly tax submission) as well as banking software would not run on our Linux or OSX devices, and so we had these &#x27;loaner&#x27; windows &#x27;tax machines&#x27; that got reimaged every few days that people could use to do their business.<p>They also have their own Office-like suite by Hancon[1], that is a pain to support and only runs on Windows. There were attempts to have gDrive to be able to read the files but afaik that never worked out.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hancom" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hancom</a>
