Investment reinforces SUSE’s commitment to innovate and support SUSE Linux Enterprise distributions and related open source projects
SUSE plans to contribute its code to an open source foundation
Alma and Rocky have been around for a while already. Most people I know moved over to those after Centos went EOL. Not sure what Suse will do that these don’t already do.
Interesting. The place I work at mostly use RHEL, with Rocky as an option for customers not wanting to pay for RHEL support. Will look into Suse’s offering once it arrives.
Hey! it will be great to have a proper alternative for the companies that are on CentOS. I take that as good news!

Alma and Rocky depend on the publicly available source code for RHEL. Red Hat decided to close source except to paying customers. https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/23/red_hat_centos_move/
From the announcement: the will cooperate with Rocky and others to have a common rhel compatible fork
