If this rhel bs leads to suse taking over dominance, then amen.
It will be nice to have a new enterprise Linux overlord that isn’t a massive bag of dicks.
Sometimes I wonder if we’re not being fair to RedHat, but then I remember at the same time they didn’t go under in 2008 like Sun did, and they didn’t take the hit many others did due to COVID.
So sad for Sun. Just touching their products as they were before getting eaten by Oracle is an amazing experience.
Also very nice artistic language in visual design, I know this is not the most important thing.
I shouldn’t be irrationally angry about a corp going under, but the people working there had some drive you just don’t see these days.
I mean, RH became dominant by not initially being a bag of dicks.
So if SUSE becomes the main enterprise vendor (to more precisely address RH’s role, one can say “root enterprise vendor”), then its enshittification is just a matter of time.
Other than that, I like Tumbleweed, it just works, and, unlike Fedora, without bullshit.
Still the whole corporate atmosphere makes me wary. SUSE is good, we just shouldn’t put all our eggs into one basket (and should fix that with RH).
I like Tumbleweed, it just works, and, unlike Fedora, without bullshit.
What’s up with that? I have been on the same installation of Fedora since 2021, doing disto upgrades since then. Am I lucky? And I’ve been using a Win10 VM with Passthrough devices without issues as well.
Could not agree more. My only argument in favor of suse is that they’ve been here since the beginning and never fucked about.
Thats a rare record in any tech game.
But many choices always beats 1, maybe somebody sane should make an enterprise debian, I’m just worried they might somehow manage to kill the golden goose, debian’s sanity is critical to linux’s viability as a non-bullshit os.
I hope it suceeds. As someone who uses OpenSuse Tumbleweed for a year now, I cannot recommend it enough. Solid company, and great work.

That’s brilliant
Just to confirm, SuSE has no ties to SCO and that weird crusade Darl McBride was on, right?
No. The controversy over SUSE was over Novell making an agreement with Microsoft over patents.
Novell and SCO had their own dueling lawsuits against each other.
Thanks, the details of the early decade of the year of Desktop Linux are growing murky.

I installed Tumbleweed immediately after seeing this. What a great company! :)
