From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

SUSE is independent again and back to focusing on Linux. It was the American corporation Novell that did all the cuts. Now that it's back to being independent German they are putting new focus on Linux desktop.

SUSE is independent again

MicroFocus selling SUSE to an investment firm is hardly making SUSE independent.

Now that it’s back to being independent German they are putting new focus on Linux desktop.

Great. Mind linking to announcements about hiring desktop developers? Browsing through jobs.suse.com I found two job ads about container-related software engineers in Taiwan. That's neither desktop nor German.
