openSUSE Leap openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE MicroOS openSUSE Kubic Ranger/SUSE K3os SUSE EnterpriseLinux SUSE Liberty Linux ...a bit too much no? BTW: The name is horrible...hell, even "Pop OS" is better

Except it's not "Pop OS". It's "Pop!_OS".

  Pop#!/bin/OS would have been easier to memorize ;)

  Has anyone at Sysytem76 ever explained the genesis of this awful name? I really like Pop!_OS, but the name is just terrible.

    Maybe it is meant to be wahrholesque?

    I mean in reality it's just a name, and the short version "pop" is a good name. But I guess the background story would be interesting anyhow.

Why? Tumbleweed is the rolling baseline. SLES is the major release branched off that, every 2 years. Leap is a regular release of tumbleweed, rebased to SLES, to get current packages. MicroOS is a configuration and repackaging of dunno, leap probably So they have one baseline, all of them, openSUSE Liberty Linux is a repackaging of rocky Linux, no? Which ad I said, suse had been doing already before. And the ranger/kubic stuff came with an own team. The beastie enabling all these related configurations single source cross CPU architecture is their open build server combined with their openQA. These guys rock. Except in marketing...

  MicroOS is actually based on Tumbleweed. It’s immutable/atomic. I’ve been checking it out and am super impressed. Fits a lot of my use cases.

    Oh please don't get me wrong, openSUSE Kubic is the best kubernetes distro i ever had/have...i just think they are too many names for a product...tumbleweed is also the other (not better or worse) arch distribution....but fu* off with btrfs, linux has ~one stable filesystem and it is xfs or zfs ;)
