SUSE S.A.

It wasn't.

It was the first one I ever used was SUSE.

I got a copy of it in like 1996 in Germany.

Some guy gave it to me.

He said, here, you should try this.

And we had been using FreeBSD.

And SUSE, if you don't know, stands for Software und Systementwicklung.

which means software and systems development.

And, but if we still think about vertically integrated architectures and hardware based solutions, yeah, that's going to be expensive.

And the refresh of that is going to be expensive and you're not leveraging the great community that exists out there when it comes to SUSE or Red Hat and that are really streamlining a lot of the things that, that

we can automate.

It's just, it's easy.

There have been some notable exceptions.

The trade organizations like the Linux Foundation eclipse and a few others mozilla have raked in you know not just millions but hundreds and hundreds of millions just regularly hand over fist they're like pac-man chomping through money waka waka waka but the gnome foundation and kde and the free software foundation and the conservancy and free bsd and so many others have struggled historically to raise money there have been so many years where you look at the the the the tax returns and whatnot for kde or gnome or other things and you're like they brought in like 200 000 bucks right they just bring in little bits here and there does that make any sense no it's crazy It's absolutely insane how software underpinning some of the biggest companies' products, IBM, Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical, etc., struggles to make even enough to pay for one or two engineers.

It's just absolutely baffling to me.

Well, then along comes DHH's Omarchi.

At the same time, a host of major Linux distributions.

AlmaLinux, Debian, Fedora, Gen2, Mageia, Oracle, SUSE, and Ubuntu have all rolled out critical patches to tackle newly discovered vulnerabilities lurking in a range of key applications.

These regular updates underline how software security is everyone's business.

Whether you're a sysadmin in an enterprise or a home user keen to keep data safe, what's more, Ubuntu's latest version, 26.10, marks a significant milestone by completing the migration of core utilities from the venerable GNU versions.

... during your day job hours? [laughs]

So, so I, I'm working for SUSE, as you're right.

I'm working for SUSE as an engineering manager.

I already have a lot of work.

Um, I can sometime use it, work on it during my day-to-day because that a lot of teams already use it within the company.

Mm-hmm.

Um, mostly in Europe because I'm based in Europe.

Um, so outside of the people working on Jenkins or bo- colleagues working on SUSE and the people around me, um, or attend a conference where I go, I, I don't really have, like, a huge marketing budget where I can just travel the world and keep talking about the project.

Brennan, let

me cut in by saying the key phrase that you read is when you said Egypt nationalized the SUSE.

In other words, it's ours.

It's ours.
