Considering the recent news/proposal from SUSE about OpenSUSE rebranding - what do you think would be some fitting names for the distro/community?

    What was the reason they don’t want to be associated anymore? Did Open SUSE do something to tarnish their reputation?

      I haven’t seen information on that. Only speculations in comments here on Lemmy. I didn’t and don’t follow SUSE or this news closely though.

      A commenter mentioned how SUSE has core business in hosting and business environment, while OpenSUSE userbase is more desktop and [non-paying?] end-user.

      There wasn’t (to me anyway) strong arguments for why they do. Maybe they just want to get rid of the investment, and don’t see enough gain in the good publicity and it as an entry point to them anymore.
