Every single country on earth should. The one thing I respect about CCP is their commitment towards self reliance. Nearly all enterprise and government computers in china runs on KylinOS. If China can, then all other countries should be able to ditch windows/windows server.

American propaganda tells the world China is bad, while they bomb schools and fishermen.

I hope the Swiss government coordinates with other countries, because they are certainly not the only ones looking to decouple from US tech. Public opinion also seems supportive. This could become a case of a trickle turning into a stream, once the first ones switch successfully.
