When OpenSUSE Falls
Summary: A few words about the demise of OpenSUSE
THE OPENSUSE project (product rather) is one that I have tracked and to a certain extent been involved in since its inception. It is hard to no longer write so much about the project; it’s unavoidable, however, because there is hardly news to cover anymore. Even the formal newsletter for the project came to its end some days ago (unless someone revives it).
OpenSUSE’s community manager uses a platform where he is a guest writer to promote OpenSUSE, but it looks more like a feeble attempt to sell the story that there is still steam left in the project. The death knell was probably this Microsoft deal. It’s like another passage of ownership. █
