I did not say that.

I said that because of the Microsoft agreement, many SuSE users left the 
distribution and went elsewhere.

Additionally, that (K)Ubuntu happens to have better hardware support 
than SuSE, specially in terms of laptops.

SuSE used to be the home of many KDE and Qt developers, and had a huge 
community in Europe, specially in Germany, its home country.

Nowadays you see them trying to sell themselves together with SAP for 
enterprise deployments and I have no clue how good the KDE support still is.
