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.

How SUSE Is Replacing Red Hat as the Linux and Open Source Enterprise Standard-Bearer (fossforce.com)

It’s become clear to many that Red Hat’s recent missteps with CentOS and the availability of RHEL source code indicate that it’s fallen from its respected place as “the open organization.” SUSE seems to be poised to benefit from Red Hat’s errors. We connect the dots.

Rocky Linux and possibly Alamalinux are the future if openSUSE is anything to go by

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Rocky doesn't support the range or products needed to be "the" enterprise suite.

Heck you could even go Liberty Linux and have the same bins as Rock but support under SUSE, plus k8s, plus update management, plus security tools, plus k8s multi cluster, plus some ai thing to convince investors you are doing something with it.

Like, and all that's great, but honestly still not "enough" all under one roof for some enterprise costumers who are just looking to turn a problem into an expense.

Alma has been good for me the past year or so

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I mean use Rocky all the time. Its good for me as a Dev and engineer. Its just not what I would spend a lot of time trying to convince management to spend money on for support and such.

Am I living under a rock? because I've never heard of Rocky and Almalinux lol

Two direct continuations of CentOS aiming for full RHEL compatibility

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Yes. Is it moist under there?

They are enterprise server oriented

OpenSUSE isn't enterprise friendly for a many reasons. It lacks the features of rhel like systems and the simplicity of Debian. It somehow manages to be more complex and confusing than both

Isn't SLE targeted towards enterprise anyways?

I'm by no means an expert, but I don't recognize this. Would you be so kind to elaborate?

Chill out you don't need to take it personally. I just wouldn't use based on my experience
