Setting aside the nearly religious preferences I know exist; what is the practical difference between #GNU #Linux and #Unix #BSD?

I started with Mandrake in 2001 and lost count of which and how many systems distros I’ve used since then. But the stand outs for me have been #Mandrake, #Fedora, #Suse, #OpenDarwin, and #GNUStep. While there were differences between the systems in terms of hardware and software support I have never grokked what differentiates BSD and GNU.

Swag giveaway / donation thing for #OLFConference now live over on https://go.rallyup.com/olf-2023/

Looks like they have a #3dprinter , some artwork, coffee mugs, and d a #SuSE cooler tote/bag/thing.

The constant battle to keep #RHEL8 working in a production environment this last years has taken its toll.

I wish I could convince the powers that be to switch to #SUSE.

today:
* two too many meetings (too many is > 0)
* lots of #fedora 39 blocker herding and fix verification / karma
* cut a new openQA-python-client release to make #suse folks happy - https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA-python-client/releases/tag/4.2.2
* Filed a few bugs on the new installer UI flow - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2237527 , https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2237529 , https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2237530
* sent a PR to improve bodhi's display of waived failures - https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/pull/5480

Flip, this takes me back. In 2000 I was working a trade show in London for a Microsoft reseller. Microsoft were, erm, a bit stingy & the SuSE Linux guys on the neighbouring stand took pity on us. At the end of the show, as probably very much amused them, they sent us away with the big box copies of SuSE Linux, and I started to use Linux for the first time properly. ReiserFS was bulletproof, as I found out when I had to move to Ext3/4 years later.

@SUSE mit #suse geht die letzte eigenständige #LinuxDistribution vom #Aktienmarkt.

@Toasterson Found the answer: Up to, and including PostGIS 3.3.4, hdf5 has to be present before building gdal. gdal will complain if it can’t find hdf5.

Since everything on any #SUSE #Linux distribution is hopelessly out of date and I can’t choose the platform, I need to build everything. 😞 So I put building hdf5 before gdal and this seems to work without complaints from gdal.

Next: building #PostGIS 3.4.0. Let’s see what this will be like. Another nightmare on #openSUSE or #SUSE?

Kompiliert hier eigentlich noch jemand den #Linux- #Kernel für den Arbeitsplatzrechner selbst? Früher mit #Slackware, später #SuSE war das tlw. nötig, um Treiber einzubauen, die nicht als Modul dabei waren. Und der Glaube war, dass der selbstgebaute Kernel schneller läuft. Auf meinem aktuellen #Debian (stable) wüsste ich noch nicht mal, wie ich das am besten mache, ohne den automatisierten Routinen bzgl. Grub und initramfs ins Gehege zu kommen.

SUSE is planning to go private through a merger with its majority shareholder Marcel and delist from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. EQT Private Equity plans to launch a public purchase offer to acquire shares from other #SUSE shareholders before delisting.

SUSE to flip back into private ownership

In breve:
- offrono 16 € ad azione contro una quotazione di 9.60 €
- l'offerta pubblica di acquisto di due anni fa era 30 € ad azione
- intendono fondere SUSE con un "unlisted Luxembourg entity"

A me puzza di offerta alla "prendi i soldi e scappa".
