Quite frankly I’m surprised they still exist. Is it mostly European contracts? You never really hear about SUSE anymore…

- aplanas 6y agoSUSE bought Rancher in 2020, and that was also in the news.
- ghaff 6y agoThey're a German-based company and, yes, they've always been bigger in Europe than in the US (relative to the market as a whole).
- _wldu 6y agoThey once had one of the best KDE desktops available.
- space_ghost 6y agoI have Very fond memories of KDE ~3 running on SuSE 8.1ish in the early 2000s. My XFCE setup today is far cleaner and more efficient, but it doesn't give me the same sense of satisfaction.
- throw2737 6y agoOpensuse still does. Kubuntu or Fedora are far behind.
- Shared404 6y agoOpenSUSE is my go to for when I want a KDE desktop. I just change the color scheme, and everything is good to go.
- Barrin92 6y agoGoogling around a little bit it actually seems like they have a lot of their largest customers in their US. Apparently Whole Foods, Walmart a bunch of other retailers and several American government institutions like Fema and several city administrations. Wouldn't surprise me if the US is actually their largest market.
- dralley 6y agoI believe Lowes (Hardware) also.
- Shared404 6y agoCan confirm Lowes. I didn't find an unlocked workstation inside. And I definitely didn't play with one.
- bpodgursky 6y agoWalmart is going BIG on Kubernetes (like, 100% full-throttle), so they might need to get struck from this list soon...
- beberlei 6y agoSUSE bought Rancher though, so they are all into Kubernetes too
- the_why_of_y 6y agoHow does that follow? https://www.suse.com/solutions/kubernetes/ https://www.suse.com/solutions/kubernetes/
- dan_quixote 6y agoContinental Europe was by far their largest market just a couple years ago. North American expansion was always a matter of discussion (if not investment) but it has only really picked up steam in the last year or so.
- barkingcat 6y agoYou hardly hear about them, doesn't mean they don't exist. SUSE is a large distribution based in Germany, in Europe they have significant inroads in government contracts.
- azinman2 6y agoI didn’t say they didn’t exist, but clearly it’s not just me who never really think about them: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=Ubuntu,SUSE,Redhat https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=U...
- krylon 6y agoLast time I checked, a number of Cray supercomputers were using it in some capacity.
