How do you say SUSE? (m.youtube.com)

I always thought those whoe said susa instead of soos are wrong.

Suse stands for "Software und System-Entwicklung" https://linuxiac.com/opensuse/

Edit: Yes, she can still be wrong but then it's supported by the rest of susa's staff https://youtu.be/RsME20zXbQI&t=13

Funny except the video's pronunciation is wrong since it is a German name for a company founded in Germany.

a lot of modern German companies have English names

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Yeah, but this one isn't one of them. It is actually an abbreviation of the long-form Software und System-Entwicklung.

But why it isn't WuSE - Weichware und System Entwicklung

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Or better NAP - "Software Aus Nürnbergistan".

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.
