The Netherlands is shifting government software away from US-based providers such as Microsoft, citing concerns about losing access to critical systems. The new setup, known as DAWO, is built on NixOS and is being implemented by three service providers under the Ministry of the Interior. Observers see it as part of a wider European push for digital sovereignty.
