SuSe record with OpenSuSe is pretty good. I love their open build service. Nice to see them filling in the void IBM created by doing ibmy thingy to RHEL.

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.

SUSE being mega based, Oracle being based for once. Alma & Rocky are also always based. This is great in terms of the open source community rn.
It's stuff like this that makes me want to give Tumbleweed a try.
It would be so cool if they created the Debian for RPM/Enterprise Linux and all the other distros from that "family" used it as a rock-solid upstream base.
We already have it. It's called Debian.
Yeah, and I love it. However, after knowing the deb and the rpm worlds for the 20 years I've been using Linux, I believe it is too late for these two sides to unite and work together.
Even without talking about different dot extension, there are multiple incompatible repo with the same ones. Take RHEL vs SuSE vs Fedora, or Ubuntu vs Debian
In reality, if you're a mid or large sized business, it won't make any difference. My company continues to pay for RHEL for the piece of mind of knowing we get support (even though we never use it!)
I can totally see enthusiasts and small businesses going with cheaper options (aka free!)
I don't know if the 10M is a pun or something but it reminisce the same amount that Mark Shuttleworth pledged when he started a Debian fork project called Ubuntu.
