    Workplace is such a confusing overloaded term.

    They also have "Mijn Bureau" which I tried out and wrote about here [0] which is the MS Office alternative.

    I take it this is the layer below that, an operating system?

    But it all looks quite fragmented still from what I can see, especially now that it's also split across GitHub and CodeBerg as well as being split across different organizations, and trying to collaborate with other efforts by other European countries while still remaining distinct.
