I started my interest in Linux with SuSE 4.2. I left that because of Novell and the huge loss of features at that time, like all the simple useful things they stripped out of the distro package to become corporate copyright friendly. (Cd burner toast being an example) The last time I tried openSUSE was a disc of tumbleweed. It didn’t do it for me, ‘have a lot of fun’ didn’t ring true. I feel this can either be the end: it isn’t and hasn’t been ‘SuSE’ for many years. Or it could be a new distro that is better than it’s progenitor. (Like Mint is an anti-Ubuntu based on it.)

No dont rename openSUSE, lets not throw away the 20+ year old brand name, and new governance? Is SUSE dropping openSUSE? What are they doing?? Has maintaining a distro become too much of a hassle to them?

@banazir WTF? Please stop this...
