Understood. There is a lot of silliness and crap going on in Linux world right now. IMO we are better off being neutral and sticking to Linux stuff only.

Yes, I fully agree with this too (and I think so do most other people leaning towards the anti-woke side - people are just fed up with having someone else’s views imposed on them).
We welcome people here who have been banned from other projects for making statements like “there are only 2 genders”, or “your genes determine which one of those you are” - at the same time, people who disagree with those statements are welcome too (just like we welcome both Russians and Ukrainians, and both Israelis and Palestinians, etc). People are free to disagree, people are free to express their views, but you don’t get to force a particular view on anyone else.

I also came here from Lunduke though I really don’t give a hoot about politics, it just looked like an interesting project. If it’s more stable than Arch and reasonably up-to-date then I might consider switching to it.

Welcome @tzenfore to OpenMandriva forum and we hope much more.
OMLx Cooker is development platform, it will be broken at times because devs have to break things sometimes to do their work. Cooker is mostly bleeding edge. Edit: Cooker should only be used by folks that can solve problems for themselves or by users able to maintain a separate partition for production.
OMLx ROME is recommended for individual users. It gets regular updates from Cooker and stays very up to date IMO. ROME is very stable, in my observation as an OM tester, ofc there are problems for some users at times like with any computer operating system.
OMLx Rock is a point release that gets bug fix and security updates. This is more intended for businesses or users that do not like a lot of change.

Yeah, that’s why I downloaded ROME. I think I will install it on my other SSD later today.

Being neutral is often all you have to do to be labeled a bigot or nazi. I think most of us showing up after the Lunduke video are just looking for a distro that doesn’t discriminate against qualified contributors based on their non-software-related personal beliefs or political views. My opinions of the government should have no bearing on an open source software project, and vice versa.

I too came over from Lunduke.
It’s nice to see a distro not virtu signal to all the wokeness thats going on. I’ve been meaning to check out OM for a couple of years but it always fell off my radar. I’ve been pretty comfortable using Ubuntu/Debian distros and wanted to try something different. But seems like everywhere you look the other distros keep trying to embrace the corporate and non free stuff along with catering to small vocal minorites.
I didnt wait and jumped into OM Rome last night with both feet. I’m done with people trying to tell me what to say, think and what I can do with my hardware.
I will gladly gather with those who feel the same.
Now I just need to get used to KDE again. So far this is a really nice implementation of it.

TL;DR I talk to much so let me cut to the chase. I can’t code even if that could save ma life.
But I have small YT channel in Polish.
You have no freaking idea how much we are done with DEI in Poland. Yet, almost no one use open mandriva in PL. People just do not know the distro and do not know, how crazy easy to use it is. Just point me in a direction of open mandriva founder statement that landuke shows on his show and let me do a landuke work but in polish.
I almost jump ship to free bsd from linux. Yup I know Freebsd let say affiliations , but they at last can work on project (and stay technical) without shoving their views down somebody’s throat
Also came here from landuke. I set my system up and runing under 20 minutes. (my settings and preferred software included)
Just after figuring out what to do with the squashfs.img does not exist error while using ventoy. (Yup that error still occurs @ben79 solution saves me).
Anyway I have more problems with freaking kde then with a system it self. Im nor kde nor gnome guy… but till im really get comfy with a totally new system i will stick to defaults.
PS my English sucks sorry

Your english is sufficient enough to get the point. Thats all that matters, lol.
Im not really a kde guy either. I’ve used mostly gnome, hyprland and bspwm for the last 5 or so years.
I’m actually finding this version of kde rather nice and easy compared to my last time I tried it.

Cool!
@All Please keep in mind that also positive feedbacks do help a lot. Because then we can know if a given trick/how-to works for more people that the (few atm) usual internal testers.
Thanks.

Nah…

Cześć, Witamy w OpenMandriva!
The statement was a private email sent in response to the “all OSes are woke” video, but it was fully quoted. If you need anything else, simply let me know.
The full source file for the WokeOS shell can be found at https://lindev.ch/wokeos.cpp
What problems are you having with KDE? It works perfectly for me, but of course I’m so used to it that I probably wouldn’t notice if something was odd.
Your English sucks way less than my Polish.

Same. I’ll have to give this a look and see how it differs from an Ubuntu/Mint distro. Especially installing software since Ubuntu has massive support.

I can understand a user used to a different desktop environment.
As for me, I feel completely lost with gnome, for example 
I think it’s just a matter of habit.
We also have a Gnome iso spin, deemed to work fine, if anyone would feel more comfortable.

Have no idea how to quote stuff from posts here. But about that ventoy squashfs.img disappearing during installation,
This is the simplest and easy workaround. Does anyone use Ventoy to install OMLx? - #5 by ben79
If it is not pinned already maybe it is worth consider to do so
BTW a split second before squashfs vanishes in a tin air, it looks like usb unmounted itself for a moment (blink) and you miss any indication of it in a kde tray. Maybe kde automount is at fault here. But that is a long shot at best
I found the way to quote stuff
Im the problem not kde. Im fluxbox / openbox XFCE user. KDE is great yet humongous in terms of options that are nested one in other in to other. If one is not used to this it feels bit intimidating.

Oh shit it is c++ easter egg code hilarious

Same, I came from Lunduke’s video as well. I remember using Mandriva all the way back in highschool in the late 90’s early 2000’s.

as somone from the other side of the aisle (eg im the rare gay furry) I honestly want a distro that is “quiet” because all the virtue signaling hurts our side as well.

The simplest way is to just select text with your mouse cursor and an option will come up to “Quote.” You just click that and it opens a new reply with all the info in the reply header.
