Don WatkinsWhy SUSE is forking Red Hat Enterprise Linux | TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/11/why-suse-is-forking-red-hat-enterprise-linux/ | Another good article on #RHEL #Linux
Bryan Redeagle@donwatkins This article did not really answer why, unless the answer is "because open source!"
Gerard Braad@redeagle so i wasnt the only one who noticed there is no answer. only confusion. so much that even opensuse had to put out a statement/faq

2000 words spent on history on Gregory comments and a vague business statement.
Autolycus 🏴☠️@donwatkins I just find this confusing. It would make more sense for them to invest in ways to migrate major software to SuSE than to fork Red Hat.
A fork of Red Hat won't be able to guarantee with Red Hat compatibility going forward, so it doesn't seem to provide anything that Alma/Rocky aren't already providing.
