Long time Red Hat/Fedora user about to jump to OM despite never trying it & not particularly caring for Mandrake when I last tried it in 2003 (or KDE). I only read about the whole ‘controversy’ today. All I can say is what a breath of fresh air, sign me up!
There has really been nowhere to go for Linux users who don’t subscribe to the new Left. Your userbase is going to really boom!
Also, I’m from South Australia if there are any Aussies about!
Welcome! We are glad to see you and we hope you will decide to make this your home.
May I ask, how did you find out about us?
@pugwall Welcome
Actually discovered you by Googling 'least woke linux" lol.
Will be installing on an old Dell Optiplex micro form factor. Will see how it goes in the morning.
Welcome!
Welcome to OpenMandriva! You’ve made a good choice.
Welcome aboard. I think you will like it here.
Welcome bro, I think that classifies as a win haha. Most normal regular linux distro, that’s a great title.
Whoops. Deleted my post playing with the forum.
Anyway - I ended up installing and it’s going pretty good. Interestingly, a TP-Link Bluetooth dongle which failed to connect on both my previous Fedora and Mint installs (on this OptiPlex), is working perfectly on OM lol.
Happy to use as my daily driver, mainly for the community. Got Brave browser installed, and as long as I can get VirtualBox going, life is good.
Older post I realize, but how has OpenMandriva been treating you now that you have been using it for awhile @pugwall ?
Haven’t used it for much other than browsing the web so far, but going just fine.
No issues updating Rome. That’s about all I have to say for now. Will be sticking around.
Good deal welcome to OpenMandriva, so very glad to have you here. Welcome to the community.
