I realize that this may be more of SUSE than an openSUSE question. But the relationship between the two is at the heart of the question. So I trust that I am on topic.
Is there a good description of how SUSE and openSUSE implement (or don't) real time kernel extensions? There is a description here: https://www.suse.com/products/realtime/technical-information/ This is a feature of SUSE Linux that one must purchase (there is a 60 day free trial). Fair enough.
The openSUSE kernel in Leap and forward is the same one as in SUSE. Right? Which kernel is the openSUSE kernel built from: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server? Or something else? Maybe this is not the right way to look at this?
No, it is not the same kernel. SLES so far has 3.12 as latest kernel, Leap has a 4.1 kernel.
The extra SUSE RT extensions are only available via the SUSE product? That would make sense.
Yes.
Isn't it the case that many of the RT extensions have been made part of the mainline kernel and no longer need to be applied to the kernel as a patch? Would those RT extensions exist and be enabled in the standard kernel in SUSE and openSUSE?
I think so, yes. As usual, someone would need to do it...
Maybe there is a feature comparison table somewhere that shows what one gets in openSUSE versus SUSE?
I do not have a specific concern at this point about the SUSE kernel and real time. But I would like to track the status of this aspect of the kernel.
