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.

That said gives such a confidence on their promises that they have to add this statement at the end
"Forward-Looking Statements
Any statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects for the company, including statements containing the words “aims,” “targets,” “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” and similar expressions, may constitute forward-looking statements and should be read with caution. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including competitive landscape, development of customer deals, reliance upon customer relationships, management of growth and acquisitions, the possibility of undetected software issues, the risks of impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and economic downturns, pricing pressures and the viability of the Internet. In addition, any forward-looking statements included herein represent views as of the date of this press release and these views could change.

Lol Ok suse we trust you bro
Hmm i hope, especially with them mentioning cov19, that this is only the standard boilerplate legal defense stuff. It would make sense to not have the whole company going down if this side project fails
They do have exactly the same on their other news posts.
I really have no idea whether Suse is trustworthy here, but that kind of boilerplate seems common for publicly traded companies.
Why rhel/cent os is such a big deal? Cant ppl just use Debian / Ubuntu / alpine?
Professional applications (e.g. CAD,...) generally don't support many distributions. In my field, RHEL and SLES are widely supported and a few tools also support Ubuntu.
Am I the only one old enough to remember the 2006 deal between Microsoft and Novell? Now Red Hat is on the hot seat with everyone blaming and hating, I remember when Novell was in similar position in terms of community feeling betrayed.
SUSE does not belong to Novell anymore.
Aged like milk with nowadays news about SUSE turning private again...
There have been several acquisitions in the meantime, that's true, but remembering the past helps not to be fooled again.
Maybe it does, but since it's not the same entity and SUSE now has full autonomy, it might be better to be cautiously confident? It's my stand anyhow.
curious as to what they’d call it.
If they don't call it Green Lizard Enterprise Linux I'll be disappointed.
Green Hat Enterprise Linux
