Serendipitously, I have two visiting Swedes at hand. Confronted separately with 'SuSE' written on a scrap of paper, they both said
TSOO-seh
with the accent, not a strong one, on the first syllable.
I suspect, however, that anglophones, Germans, and Swedes are going to continue to pronounce it a bit differently. The precedents are bad. Agreement about how to promnounce names and acronyms is hard to come by. After many decades Brits pronounce 'CICS' as 'kicks', Americans say see-eye-see-ess, and francophones, even Canadian ones, say 'keeks'.
