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.

Bavarian-based enterprise Linux distribution vendor SUSE is laying off 10% of its global workforce as a result of AI and automation.

SUSE CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen sent out an internal memo to its staff that AI and automation are leading to changes in the industry... and resulting in a 10% global workforce reduction at SUSE. Those affected are set to be notified beginning tomorrow, 4 November.

These layoffs follow voluntary separation offers sent out in September albeit not with enough uptake to satisfy management.

The unfortunate state of the industry.

The Yast2 GUI system admin tools made my transition from Windows super easy. It was like the Windows old school control center. You can change your kernel boot parameters via GUI, adjust services and the enabled/disabled and other stuff via GUI, add or remove packages with check marks. You could probably do everything without touching the command line.

A lot of that has now moved to a cockpit-client launcher, which is just OK, doesn't have the same buttons and knobs as YAST.
