It has to do with the http and browsers blocking the insecure download. At least we know the why.

That’s a nice little rice. I keep meaning to have a computer setup with only a WM. I did Fedora Sway for a short time, but never got too comfortable. Maybe I’ll just swap out the WM in KDE for a tiling/dynamic one and go from there.

I too am here due to Lunduke. So far everything is working beautifully! Thanks for all the hard work on OpenMandriva. Hopefully, I can find a way to help in the near future.

Theres a thread called “Desktop logs out to lock screen” (Can’t post links here yet, sorry) Could this be the problem you’re running into? I’m having this issue as well, though for me installing the nVidia drivers seemed to solve the issue (I had to reinstall because trying to change SDDM to lightdm deleted to many packages and broke the system 
)
wow i love the ricing young blood

I advice you try bismuth or krohnkite on KDE, its the only DE that let’s you do this - neuter the whole DE to turn it into a WM as much as possible.
The best is with both you can access the kwin .config file to tweak windows and panels behavior and add/change shortcuts to make them WM like, using the mod/meta/super key to do everything - kwin is super flexible in that regard… plus all the goodies the DE has already set up for you: integrated system settings, clipboard/screen cap management, Notifs, system tray, themes, power/ session manager etc - ditch the kde panel for waybar or shrink it to nothing & dnf Wofi to have a keyboard app launcher
…it can feel at least 95% like a WM- ‘not it’ but pretty close imo/ime.

Another Lunduker here. What’s the best place to file bug reports, etc? I’m a software developer and some of the tools I use are available in the repos, but either have issues being installed, or being run.

If you have GH then you can open an Issue here:
Otherwise, authoring a post in the Support topic of the forum and letting us know you found a bug and we can open an Issue for you.

Fantastic, thanks!
Edit: I posted in the support forum to make sure it really is an issue before creating an issue in GitHub.

I’m also here from Lunduke’s video. Although I heard of OpenMandriva before I never looked into it until now. It has a noble cause behind it, has a plethora of software, and development seems straight forward enough for me. After installing ROME Plasma 6 with Wayland Im hooked. My background is primarily with PCLinuxOS, including packaging for it. Distros don’t deserve to be political, and people regardless of where they are from or their beliefs deserve a right to contribute. I have a much higher respect for this community thanks to that.

I think this should have a high priority. I think a lot of people use ventoy and as a newcomer you have a bad experience and might get up because of this. When I first tried, I tried for an hour or two to install and then gave up. I was curious about the experience of others and peeked in the forum and found the post about the issue, which let me to try it and then it worked like a charm.
If I hadn’t found this issue in the forum I would have walked away from this distribution. And the fix doesn’t seem to be too involved. Either open a shell in the background to the location or at least mention this problem in the installer.
And additionally you could mention in the installer that one could use the KDE partition manager. The first time I tried it with the manual partitioning during installation, which was also a bad experience. I wouldn’t have thought about the KDE partition manager, if I hadn’t read it in the forum as well.
Could you share your config, and if you dnf’d anything else for Sway? (waybar, wofi, etc.) I have gotten quite used to it, but I too would really like to be able to run Hyprland as well.
That said KDE is quite nice, not sure I really need anything else.
Awesome, thanks for the advice.

I wouldn’t have thought […] if I hadn’t read it in the forum as well
Sure, I can understand your point but let me say something:
I want to try a new distro, I think among the first things I do is to look at its documentation, read the [Release] Notes, Errata, and its forum, support and the likes.
Then I install it, etc. etc.
We can’t be everywhere, nor to reply to any single comment about something “not working” or so. I guess you can agree, no? 
Of course everything can be improved and we do and always did our best.
This is an example: Newcomers Tips (draft)
Just please help us to help you (all).

I understand and agree. I did search for the issue in Google and in the forum, but I couldn’t find it. I used probably a wrong search term. Since I installed it on a mac, I thought there were driver issues or other issues because it is a mac (that’s usually the issue ). I probably searched for installation issues with macs, since I would think the installer should usually work.

The guy who does Ventoy is the one who keeps adding support for more and more distros. If he doesn’t know it’s not working, he won’t fix it. I would suggest filing a bug report with Ventoy.

Is it a ventoy issue, though? Since it boots correctly in the live OS. I don’t think ventoy does anything after booting.
Yes. All the files are in the Ventoy drive.
I ended up just throwing the .iso onto its own thumbdrive and it worked fine.
By the way, I cannot say with certainty that the problem is with Ventoy, but that would be my first choice. He does fix issues and adds support for other distros with each new release.
