    The Junta de Andalucía no longer uses free software. Not long ago they spent a lot of money on licenses.

      That is not true. Keep using it, in fact it has made a specific guadalinex-based distribution for the administration. The expense was made on computers that continued using windows and lacked a license.

    Linux is not 100% free, apart from receiving a lot of funding from giants like Google, IBM, even Microsoft, although the latter does not seem so.

    It is neither 100% free nor that good, it only has one positive factor that makes it popularly good, which is to mold it to your liking if the hardware allows it of course
