Alma and Rocky have been around for a while already. Most people I know moved over to those after Centos went EOL. Not sure what Suse will do that these don’t already do.
From the announcement: the will cooperate with Rocky and others to have a common rhel compatible fork
Alma and Rocky depend on the publicly available source code for RHEL. Red Hat decided to close source except to paying customers. https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/23/red_hat_centos_move/
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.
