Default applications were a little much, but can be uninstalled if I like. A beginner should enjoy the ease of this distro while a more seasoned Linux user would feel right at home. This distribution can be used as a stable, robust distribution for full desktop and constructive work. I now use it for graphic art, in which I manufacture decals. Found no issues at all, zero. I think, a person who isn't accustomed to Openmandriva should catch on quite easily how to use it without being frustrated. Don't blame the distro, but the user, I would say. I had this set up and ready as my daily driver, one of the best distros out there to use. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 4.3 Rating: 9 Date: 2023-12-14 Votes: 3 Mandrake was one of the very first distro's that permanently resided on my hard disk, way back in 2001. Alas, as Windows was a necessity for work, the linux distros went to the archives. But here we are again. Been using OpenMandriva 4.3 Lx since August 2022 and I am so very pleased with it! The Calamares installer put it on my disk effortless, the welcome screen guides you through the rest of the install. It runs flawlessly on the Asus x75c, 4 giga ddr and i3 processor 2.5 Ghz. Yes, things are done that bit differently (certainly when you come out of a debian environment). But everything is there. Updates are very good, and stuff is picked of the Rock repositories. One drawback is the very long boot process, but I am blaming the old Asus for that. No bluetooth on the asus, so I cannot comment on that. Replaced the Falkon with Firefox, but for the rest there is a good basic selection of tools and apps to get things done. For those that resent it, yes...it is systemd. For me the Plasma desktop dark theme integration with the Kwin manager and Breeze Dark iconset is one of the most beautiful I have used up till now. Definate keeper! Was this review helpful?
