Yes, SUSE is No Longer a Golden Standard
It may never have been
Some readers, particularly those who are here to defend or apologise for Novell [1], wish to insist that nobody ever gives up on SUSE. So here is a brand-new example from yesterday:
Goodbye OpenSuse, Hello Ubuntu
I used to think that OpenSuse is the most complete, most good-looking, and most secure Linux distro that I prefer to employ it on my main workstation. Then version 10.3 came, and my love for OpenSuse quickly evaporated.
There are many more examples, e.g. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Since there’s strong resistance to arguments that SUSE has an image problem which is inherited from Novell, maybe we ought to highlight more such stories.

You know very well that I never insisted that “no one ever gives up on SUSE”. Why do you have to lie?

It was sort of like ‘figure of speech’. I wasn’t referring to particular individuals. I had in mind some people in a newsgroup where I post regularly and I used to be a SuSE stickler myself (before the deal). At the time, PCLOS, Ubuntu and Mandriva, for example, were not in the same state.
