Clean user interface and efficient personal use pave the way for running essential applications

Pros

"SUSE Linux had a clean user interface, which was a valuable feature for me."

Cons

"The software management side was a bit difficult, especially compared to Ubuntu. "

Has good kernel modules and upgrades

Pros

"I like how the tool handles kernel modules and upgrades - we rarely have issues after upgrades, unlike with other Linux distributions like Oracle Linux or Ubuntu. The kernel module management is excellent. Changes made in one version typically work the same in other versions too, which isn't always the case with other distributions. There's also lots of information and community support available if you run into any problems, both on the official website and in forums and user groups. I know many people who use it specifically, so it's easy to get independent support if needed. I've been working with the tool for a long time, since 2003, before they became SUSE Linux Enterprise. It's always been one of the most admin-friendly Linux versions. "

Cons

"Additionally, error handling needs improvement. The system should be more transparent when there's an error, rather than just declaring a generic error. It would be helpful if it could provide more specific information about the problem on that particular system. As it stands, you can waste a lot of time trying to troubleshoot these vague errors. "

Efficient IT management with crucial automatic updates but needs developer-friendly configuration

Pros

"The most important feature is the automatic kernel lifecycle subscription, which is critical for us because the server cannot go down once we start offering any services on the cluster."

Cons

"Sometimes it is a bit of work for developers to change the configurations. "
