Marcel LUX III SARL (Marcel) as the largest shareholder in SUSE is planning to take the company private and delist it from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. SUSE will be merged with an unlisted Luxembourg entity. Marcel currently owns a 79% stake in SUSE.

Why? Why is it bad that SUSE is private?
When Suse was privately owned by Nowell they helped Microsoft screw over the entire Linux community for over a decade.
The past doesn’t necessarily dictate the future. If the people in charge of SUSE’s direction going forward think way differently than the one’s back in regards to your comment, then the outcome can be different / better for the Linux community, can’t it?

For sure, I’m just giving it as a counter to most people in the thread thinking privately owned must be better than publicly.
