SUSE working on a Red Hat Clone?

So this feels totally out of left field to me.

But if you have enough resources to run two distros, then why not.

The reasonable inference is that Red Hat close-sourced the OS in order to become more profitable. The increased profitability would have put SUSE at a relative disadvantage. This action by SUSE to fork RHEL maintains the status quo that existed between them before Red Hat closed-sourced RHEL.

I’ve just started reading about this. I have a lot of respect for both Red Hat and Suse. I hope as part of this collaboration also continues via CentOSStream though I am unsure if the move is to encourage the community to contribute on Suse’s community version rather than CentOSStream. Let’s see how this goes, I guess.

The fact that there were ever clones was rather bonkers to me to begin with. It will be interesting what happens from all of this.

I think it is weird that SUSE is doing this and going on attack but we’ll see what happens. I guess that is what happens with a new CEO in charge.

However, Oracle is still trash in my opinion. People should not be giving them any attention regarding Open Source. They dont care about openness, imo
