To be honest, I’ve always really not liked the name “openSUSE.”
This might be because I got into computers young, or it might just be neurological differences, but I often got in the habit of (mis)pronouncing abbreviations with syllables.
So, maybe it’s just me, but for half a decade it was in my mind as “open-Suzy”. This combined with YaST being rhymed with “kick ass” in one of their videos once created an immature perception. Stupid, shallow, but perceptions matter.
And, for anyone who remembers, SUSE Studio could have been a killer feature. For those who needed it, it was awesome. The commercially driven and highly technical replacement is no substitute and the shutdown is still a shame.
I got to use susestudio only for a few months and I was in love. Not sure why they killed it. There is simply nothing like that out there that I know of. Docker et al are great but susestudio did much more. I used it to create an installer for a summer course with the required tool and it just worked.
