Some neat tweaks and utilities were found to handle certain aspects and appearance, but really, if the distro doesn't support DEB or RPM packages today then that seems to really limit what I can do easily. There is no plethora of documentation out there to be able to use this as a daily workstation or server use, and the repositories are limited. For fun, I thought I would try to install Apache webserver. Once I figured out dnf I then had to Google for information which all I came up with is a couple of sites with information from 2011. And it still did not work. This just doesn't seem to be a distro I could use daily. I did find support for AppImage, but that's not gonna cut it. Why use a distro that is a challenge to set up and use the way you need? Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 5.0 Rating: 8 Date: 2023-11-27 Votes: 6 The OpenMandriva system as such is excellent, all the hardware works for me, the installation went without errors, the system works quickly. The only thing that bothers me is the absence of many applications and packages that I'm used to from other distributions (Linux Mint, Fedora), but it's not a problem, just a sigh. I would definitely find alternatives to the missing apps. Otherwise, I must say that the developers of the OpenMandriva system are doing an excellent job, which the users of this system will fully appreciate. Was this review helpful?
