It was, because they were the ones porting the sources to x86-64

Version 9.0 of Suse linux came out on Oct. 15 2003 and had full 64bit 
support

Support for the AMD64 was earlyer though, it started in 2001 with the 
original specs, which were changed slightly later until the release of the 
processor in April 2003


Quote from the Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Linux
----------------------
Linux was the first operating system kernel to run the x86-64 architecture 
in long mode, starting with the 2.4 version in 2001 (preceding the 
hardware's availability).[59][60] Linux also provides backward compatibility 
for running 32-bit executables. This permits programs to be recompiled into 
long mode while retaining the use of 32-bit programs. Several Linux 
distributions currently ship with x86-64-native kernels and userlands.
-----------------------


The first windows versions to support x86-64 (extremely badly) came out in 
2005 (Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 x64 
Edition). Hardware support (drivers) was not nearly as complete as in linux 
(it was in fact nearly ipossible to get 64bit drivers for those for the vast 
majority of hardware), and seamless support of both 64bit and 32bit programs 
was (and still is) not as good as in linux


The anonymous coward is still dumber than bread, as he is completely unable 
to look up easily to find dates. Not surprising, plants like GreyClot are 
unable too. Incidentally, both are windows users, and both bring the 
combined windows users IQ down to 43
