By "nobody" I presume you mean you and your friends? From the article;

>> "More than 60% of the Fortune 500 rely on SUSE to power some of their workloads, according to the company."

This is an Enterprise version of Linux, and unless you are in the enterprise space you're unlikely to come across it.

Also from the article; >> "The company generates about $800 million in revenue "

So again, this suggests that people are indeed using it.

Rancher/k3s is used a lot in many places as well.

There’s also harvester on top of rancher. It’s one of the very few open source competitors to RedHats OpenShift that I’m aware of.

I mostly like their use of an immutable OS as base layer for the virtualization - despite the limitations it sometimes has.

		Harvester is just Kubevirt with some UI atop it, the same as Redhat Virt. Works fine if you’re hosting datacenters or whatever, haven’t seen it be suitable in smaller manufacturing environment

Over 60% are SUSE?! Sorry, but I’m with everyone else…

I remember since the start that SUSE was more popular in Europe, but no way would that be the case in the US. If anything, I’d be willing to put my money on > 60% of Linux installs being RHEL/Centos rather than SUSE

		You could get the number wrong. The quote stated that 60% of the companies use Suse to power some of the workloads. So if most of these companies would use Suse to host SAP, some have a few teams using Rancher and some (more so in Europe ) are using Sles you still get to these numbers even if most of them use RedHat for most of their workloads.
