Anecdotally, I have only heard of Europeans using SUSE.

    SUSE is a fascinating company. They’ve been in the game since the 90s. They have over 2300 employees. Revenue is ~650 MM USD. But I rarely hear of anyone using their distro.

      $650? I assume you mean 650 million or something?

        And also private. Many supermarket terminals are running SUSE.

      Perhaps interesting, they also acquired rancher (makers of k3s).

  Place I used to work at in Australia 15+ years ago used SUSE. Novell owned it and they positioned it as their replacement for NetWare, and a lot of ex-NetWare sites ending up running it (at least for a while). But even that place, we had more Oracle Linux than SUSE. Everything that ran on Solaris got migrated to Oracle Linux (e.g. Oracle RDBMS); everything that ran on NetWare (GroupWise, eDirectory) got migrated to OES (SUSE plus extra ex-NetWare bits). But then I think most of the SUSE went away when GroupWise/eDir were replaced by Exchange/AD on Windows. Whereas they are probably still using Oracle Linux today. Actually, originally we were going to use RHEL, but found Red Hat’s sales team too difficult to deal with, whereas we already were an Oracle customer.

  SuSE Linux is absolutely popular among HPC folks, especially in the weather forecasting / modeling community.
