It's incredible to me that all this has led to Oracle looking like the good guy here. Fucking ORACLE. 2023 is weird, man.

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.

Oracle's OEL is the reason all of this happened in the first place, lol. I don't think there are any good guys or bad guys in all this, just corporations doing what corporations do: make money. Oracle and SUSE smell blood in the water and are trying to capitalize as much as they can. I don't blame them.
That's pretty awesome and a good read. Maybe I should have given SUSE more of a fair shot.
Will the RHEL SUSE form be the first server-oriented distro based in Europe?
SLES is OpenSUSE's own competing product to RHEL. There's also Ubuntu Server.
Do they explain it well?
Not half bad, actually! Admittedly, it's a bit of a complicated story.
I can put some faith in SUSE, they've done good work throughout the years.
Unlike fucking Oracle.
