Investment reinforces SUSE’s commitment to innovate and support SUSE Linux Enterprise distributions and related open source projects  SUSE plans to contribute its code to an open source foundation

I personally think it’s hilarious Red Hat tried to kill off its derivative distros and other companies are just treating this as a newly-opened niche 🤣 😂

What’s Red Hat gonna do, change the license on the Linux kernel?

    I am not exactly sure what’s in this for Suse tbh. Now they’re gonna maintain two different distros? I mean…good luck I guess? I just don’t see this as being viable long term and this feels more like an empty PR move than anything.

      Yeah, I mean either this is an empty PR move that’s going to fizzle out, or they’re going to go into this with an idea of how it’s going to contribute to their business. Also, it seems unlikely a large enterprise software company like SUSE would announce something like this without any intent of following through.
