I had heard something about this quite some time ago.
I think at the time the preference was Ubuntu, is that still the case?

Regardless, good policy.

#OpenSUSE would be more european and open source.

That makes sense. Thanks.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @linuxiac Leap 16.0 builds on its hybrid approach of combining source from SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) with community developments, delivering a level of stability unmatched by other Linux distributions.

I wish there was a word that meant "European Unionist", Because Ubuntu is European (Isle of Man for tax reasons 😜 ) It's just not Unionist.

This is important to us Brits who are still Europeans, even after Brexit. Our position on the continent of Europe didn't change nor our cultural connection to the mainland.

(Please don't use Ubuntu, Canonical is not a nice company)
