    Looks like open suze is going to experience more corporate bullshyt
    The parent is suggesting the non corporate part is going to need to be renamed

    I lost interest in open suze after I was dead ended on version 15

      Tumbleweed is a very good distro. I hope it survives the upcoming wave of BS. It probably will.

      SUSE also has multiple controversial pacts with Microsoft, and has for a long time. Such as the Novell-Microsoft agreement.

      There was a time when it looked possible that MS was going to sue lots of Linux projects, and SUSE immediately jumped into a cosy relationship with MS so that if it did happen, they’d be shielded. This was interpreted as a fuck you to other FOSS projects by much of the community. (Was a long time ago though)

        SUSE isn’t owned by Novell anymore though. So this isn’t particularly relevant.

          They aren’t, no. But SUSE has continued working with MS, and many of the people that were there are still there.

          Perhaps their close relationship is an irrational thing to point at in the current year. Perhaps it isn’t. I don’t really know tbh.

          But it’s certainly something some people are still a bit iffy about. And I’m sure some people will still be similarly iffy about RedHat in 10 years too for their recent licencing controversy.

      Supposedly Leap will move to whatever SUSE goes to. ALP or something? I lost track of names and options
