This whole thing of private equity + companies getting massively inflated - only ends one way, it might not be this this buyer but one down the line, but there is something deeply wrong with the whole model, the one that starts with startups such as those funded by ycombinator.

SUSE made some interesting hiring moves lately, I am not surprised they are gearing up for a sale or major investment.

What does ‘enterprise Linux’ actually mean? Not asking snarkily; I’m curious what the main differences are between this and other Linux distros. Is it mostly about getting good tech support?

If they are sold, which I think it would be a good thing, I hope a competent organization. But these days, it will probably be another Private Equity Company that will force it to go all in on AI, eventually ruining SUSE :(

Another potential L for EU software sovereignty. Let's see if Brussels lets this pass.

Color me shocked that SUSE was worth 6 billion. Good for them.
