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 moved from Redhat when they started pulling the shit around getting paid for their source. I understand why they did it, but I disagreed with that choice and I moved.
I quit Ubuntu when I finally had enough of their insistence on their way for everything such as firefox via snap, sure I can and did work around their shit, but why the fuck should I?
I would move from Opensuse if they did something similar, if it became unreliably maintained, or if something much better came along.
I love my Tumbleweed install. It is rolling and new while also being rock solid. But I do have the itch to try new stuff which j do sometimes
Yeah I have the same impression of it, although the volume of some updates, even when I update daily, can be a little off-putting.
I wont move unless I have a good reason to, inertia over the effort to change when bored is too high
Love me some tumbleweed. Snapper ready to go on on top of everything is also very nice to have.
I saw too much while turning the corpse they kicked over the fence into a unitedLinux we could ship and support.
The horrors.
If the entire company died and absolutely new people made a new company by the same name with none of the former staff or principals involved, then I would consider suse. The taint goes so deep I would not consider even a new source drop with the same staff.
I'm not familiar with any of what you're saying. Would you care to expand on it a little bit? Also, which distro do you use instead?
Same scenario as mine.
