Beautiful roses have deadly thorns
It is fair to argue that OpenSUSE is a very decent desktop (Novell's sins aside). That's just an objective assessment. Here is a standard desktop experience with Beryl, illustrated with OpenSUSE 10.2 and KDE.
There is nothing exceptional about the following video, but it probably shows a defect in OpenSUSE, which is unable to proceed with installation. No known cause is specified.
When you use SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, you help Novell.
Please, please please stop spreading this FUD Roy. When you use an OPEN distribution of Linux you help LINUX. It's called openSUSE for a reason. You're not "helping Novell" by using openSUSE any more than you're "helping" RedHat when you run Fedora. Would you say you're hurting RedHat by running CentOS? So along those lines of thinking everyone should stop running CentOS?

When a person runs OpenSUSE, he or she, as a potential system administrator, will be inclined to choose SLES/SLES for the enterprise. Moreover, there are bug reports, vanity figures for Novell, and upgrades (price-wise) to consider. We covered this before. A large OpenSUSE userbase is a great asset to Novell. Watch/follow the hyperlink above as well.
If you work for IBM and have something material (like balance sheets) to prove financial misconduct, please try to 'touch base' and establish a secure communication channel we can both use
Negrão was one of 17 applicants for the position but he somehow managed to end up as the sole candidate on the shortlist prepared by the Management Board in June 2020
In technology, provided the work you do has growing impact (we served almost 2 million requests yesterday), things will inevitably become more political - whether you like it or not does not matter
