Just curious about Nekoray / Wireguard, do you use a fixed-IP for your daily work ?
Currently using Private Internet Access with an addional fee, interesting in any professional setup. Iām mostly using fixed IP with the firewall whitelisting feature to add an extra security layer with a few clients.
No, my IP is not fixed. I use Wireguard VPN all the time to protect my traffic and to bypass blocking, however itās free. With Nekoray (it usually uses shadowsocks) I can additionally get IP addresses in other countries (it turns out to be a proxy over VPN).
Welcome @Pozitigor to OpenMandriva and our forum. This forum is for users of OpenMandriva Linux operating systems.
We are a small group. All the contributors and developers here are unpaid volunteers.
You are welcome to talk to our developers at OpenMandriva Chat.
The first thing when a new user has an issue is to look in the documentation for OMLx. OpenMandriva wiki and Forum Resources guide.
If you donāt find what you are looking for try an Internet search (googling). One can find out a lot from documentation or forum posts at other Linux distros. If user finds something written for another distro but you have some doubt ask at OpenMandriva Chat.
For serious technical issues and package/feature requests please file a bug report here.
Iām using the Xfce spin, so my list may be much different from the standard Plasma one:
Today is my first day using OM so those are just the standard things I always do first. I did find that Plank misbehaves a little bit in Xfce, so Iāll likely just ditch it and use a good olā Xfce super-customized panel with launchers on the bottom of the screen instead.
I prefer to use the flatpak version of LibreOffice. More distros should follow Fedoraās lead in dropping it from their repos and free up a lot of maintainer time.

I forgot to add the Terminal App āmoreutilsā which I used for sponge. It is very handy.
From my .bashrc
# Run these things at the start of bash sessions
# This cleans all the duplicates from .bash_history, leaving the newest lines
# This has to be performed at the start of bash, because the history is not
# written until bash is closed.
# Requires installation of the package moreutils
tac ~/.bash_history | awk '!x[$0]++' | tac | sponge ~/.bash_history
You likely already have a good idea on which apps people want but doesnāt hurt to have more data.
I always want the following on-hand after installation:
More Creator & Gaming Focused, a good chunk of non-free software, so itās more an availability concern, not a requirement. Prefer to always use the native package management; with flatpaks & AppImages being a fallback.
All appimages failed to run out of the box with execv errors & core dumps with znver1. Some worked after being extracted.
