Did a clean install of 4418 and everything is stable.
Version 4418 (Wayland) used live and installed without problems.
Intel hardware
Performed a clean installed 4419, Rome Plasma 6 X11 Slim. I donât see anything blowing up. Once again, ASUS K55A. 6GB memory, 128GB SSD. Intel CPU and GPU.
Just to see what would happen, I installed task-lxqt and rebooted. No conflicts and a good way to have a dual desktop environment, just in case one becomes corrupted.
A really good lightweight emergency gui desktop is IceWM. I always install icewm on my hardware systems that I intend to keep for some period of time.
sudo dnf in icewm --refresh
For everyone here if you test an iso and there are problems you should go on OM-Chat to the OpenMandriva channel and report there. The maintainer for Plasma and LXQt is berolinux, for Plasma slim is ruru, for Gnome is angrypenguin, and the rest I do not know. But that is the best way to get movement on fixing important issues.
I just started this week Spanish classes at the University of Cuenca (Ecuador) and I must spend most of time on that for the next 2 months. Or longer if I take additional classes which is most likely.
Bleeping professors are like bosses always expecting people to do their damn job.

Now I am going to have to figure out how to use IceWM?
Looks that way, doesnât it?
All power to you. That is far above and beyond what I can do. When it comes to other languages, the most I can do is identify a Polish accent.
On the other hand, I am able to convince French speakers in and around Montreal that they need to find someone who can speak English because I am from the Midwest (see commercial driverâs license). So off the forklift driver goes with the forklift and brings back a cute office secretary wearing a small short skirt, tights, heels, blouse, and still unable to speak English. The logic being the old truck driver wonât mind wasting two hours trying to communicate with her, which is very true.
I prefer Montreal warehouse methods for coping with language issues.

Installed build 4419 (Plasma 6 Slim) on my HP Notebook, AMD A8 and AMD gpu.
Went smooth, no problems so far except the sddm issue logging me out after 1 1/2 min.

I use the work around for now.
Bluetooth works nice, better experience than with Rock. I use a Royal Kludge bluetooth keyboard, finding and pairing in seconds. Logitec wireless mouse works fine.
So far Iâm fine with Rome. If something breaks I will post it.
