Siento si soy agorero, pero me temo que el valor de #SUSE en el mercado está muy por debajo de los 6.000 millones de dólares estimados por #EQT.

Por otro lado, hay que tener en cuenta que SUSE no ha parado de dar tumbos desde que se independizó de #Novell, y viendo que esta operación huele a más incertidumbre, creo que la #UniónEuropea debería plantearse adquirir la empresa y nacionalizarla si quiere garantizar su #SoberaníaDigital de cara al futuro. https://www.muylinux.com/2026/03/11/eqt-estudia-vender-suse/

Exclusive: #EQT eyes potential $6 billion sale of #Linux pioneer #SUSE, sources say
Over the past two decades SUSE Linux has been passed around several times. From Novell's acquisition of SUSE back in 2003 to then being acquired by The Attachmate Group to then merging with Micro Focus and then the SUSE business being acquired by private equity firm EQT back in 2018. A report out today indicates that EQT may now be looking to sell off SUSE.
