Open Letter to the openSUSE Board, Project and Community (Final) - openSUSE Project
lists.opensuse.org
Dear all, Let me first define a couple of things that the community is being faced with: - Our current governance is not working. With the things we're facing and the current model / Board rules……

Considering the recent news/proposal from SUSE about OpenSUSE rebranding - what do you think would be some fitting names for the distro/community?

    You rn:

    The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “[ALPINE] WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!” Coolly, I reply “If windows was compiled With gcc, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long.”

      The Linux kernel has been been able to build with Clang for long time. Chimera Linux does omit out of the box.

      I do not know if you can build Windows with Clang but I bet you can.

      I appreciate the attempt at comedy. But I have no problem with Alpine (other than the snail oldmalloc performance). I even contributed a port fix or two.

      The more interesting part that should have been read from my comment was that Chimera DOES NOT use GCC. Not to mention that it ships non-GNU coreutils that are usable by desktop users. While Alpine has it’s GNU coreutils package overriding busybox because that’s what most users would want. So that’s another GNU component any non-meme non-turbo-minimalist desktop user would be using on Alpine.
