OpenMandriva Lx


Last Update: 2024-12-14 01:46 UTC

The OpenMandriva distribution is a full-featured Linux desktop and server, sponsored by the OpenMandriva Association. It was based on ROSA, a Russian Linux distribution project which forked Mandriva Linux in 2012, incorporating many of Mandriva's original tools and utilities and adding in-house enhancements. The goal of OpenMandriva is to facilitate the creation, improvement, promotion and distribution of free and open-source software in general, and OpenMandriva projects in particular. OpenMandriva has traditionally been a fixed release distribution, but in 2023 the project began releasing an alternative rolling branch called ROME.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 57 (169), 6 months: 40 (220), 3 months: 57 (170), 4 weeks: 40 (254), 1 week: 14 (662)

Average visitor rating: 8.09/10 from 46 review(s).

 ROME is a good alternative to Manjaro, it's stable and very up-to-date, and it's made by a totally independent team. I just wonder why this distro isn't better known, it really deserves to be looked at.


Pro:
-credible mandriva successor
-ROME is a very up to date rolling release
-Fast and reactive OS
-Good KDE integration




Con:
-Uses DNF (I could imagine urpmi or the team developing or modifying another package manager)
-Lack of popularity
-Small team
-The installer (calamares) have some problems

 This distribution is very much underrated.
The distro runs fast;
Good selection of the default pre-installed applications; others can be installed from repositories "Main" and the so-called "Unsupported". The latter must be expressly enabled.
Documentation is the strict necessary at the wiki. In the forum there is more and it's more user-friendly. The most required FAQs are covered and the people there are pretty good responsive;
The default desktop environment KDE Plasma is well maintained and up to date.

 It is a Linux distribution with the best software technologies in the world. Its unique Control Panel is the best among Linux distributions.
It is free, does not charge a fee. It has desktop options suitable for every hardware.
Downloads with desktop options;
Kde version
Gnome version
Lxqt version
It used the most advanced software technology among Linux distributions even when it first came out, Thanks to the Control Panel, which is the best, everything is intuitive and very easy to use.
All configurations can be made very easily with the Control Panel.
