The European Commission sees open-source software as more than an IT tool. Policy makers are encouraging open-source ecosystems to drive innovation, autonomy and collaboration in a world where global trade is being redrawn.
This trade dispute highlights something most open-source advocates have known for years: open source is freedom. It’s freedom from monopolies, freedom from arbitrary pricing, and freedom from foreign influence.
Can’t you upgrade it yourself after installing?
To be honest, it’d mostly be to have it on the shelf. I don’t even have an optical disc drive in my current pc, I was just thinking, it’d be a neat way to support the cause while getting something to show for it. So I guess the version doesn’t matter too much, I’d just prefer the language to not being German.
Only after Installieren… seriously though, I don’t know if you can select other installation languages (I think so?), but if not, it can be a non-starter for most. I couldn’t check as the actual purchase site didn’t load at all for me.
Hmm I guess it’s OpenSUS after all.
