From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

More like doing whats best for everyone, which sucks for it to be considered shots fired...

Absolutely. It was meant jokingly.

support/training subscriptions and enterprise customers for such

Exactly this. SUSE has the enterprise reputation to get the support sales contracts.

Great news to have more options in the Enterprise Linux space in the future. Personally I'm going to keep running Alma at work since they've promised to keep working on security updates and watching the whole RHEL linux thing unfold.

Dang, Suse really coming in strong with this. I still wish they offered openQA too. Between Rancher, and Suse they really do go pound for pound against RedHat.
