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.

I mean, RH became dominant by not initially being a bag of dicks.

So if SUSE becomes the main enterprise vendor (to more precisely address RH's role, one can say "root enterprise vendor"), then its enshittification is just a matter of time.

Other than that, I like Tumbleweed, it just works, and, unlike Fedora, without bullshit.

Still the whole corporate atmosphere makes me wary. SUSE is good, we just shouldn't put all our eggs into one basket (and should fix that with RH).

What's up with that? I have been on the same installation of Fedora since 2021, doing disto upgrades since then. Am I lucky? And I've been using a Win10 VM with Passthrough devices without issues as well.
