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.

Agree 100%. And both are 100% Community. openSuse is privately owned and supported by a massive Community.

Debian is perfect for reliability (although opensuse is very reliable) who don't need the latest and don't like installing updates all the time. 100% Community based.

Two fantastic, shining examples of the power of Community supported software 💪
