Something went wrong.
This will have all the files in it:

I just went to the website and followed the links for Rock.
I just finished getting version 5 downloaded so getting ready to burn and test it.

Okay. So I burned a 5.0 USB. I booted up into it. Got the lovely boot screen. (damn I love that boot screen) I selected the first option immediately and the boot screen cleared but the flowers remained. Then it locked up.
Just to get the easy stuff out of the way, do other live disks work?
Is your BIOS up to date?
Have you tried reseating your video card, RAM, and PSU connections to your GPU and system board?
Is it plugged into a surge protector?
Have you tried a different USB?
Unplug one of the monitors and try to boot the USB again.
- Was surprised to see there was a BIOS update. The Chinese mini pc people usually donāt do that. I updated the BIOS but got basically the same result.
- All connectors are solid.
- It IS plugged into a surge protector. I was warned about brownouts here in Medellin though with the new power plant I havenāt experienced anything.
- This is the only USB I have to test with. The other two contain my gold disk for restoring my operating system after trying new versions and the second is stored data I restore to installs.
So: After the BIOS update I burned the 6.0 ISO and started it up.
It boots up to the menu without issues.
I select the first option.
I get the flowers and background on both monitors.
The two lines of commands is written to the first monitor.
Black screen.
I did not mention this before but when I hit the reset button, for a second I have both monitors displaying the flowersā¦but it does not have the build name to the far right. I never mentioned it before because I just thought it was displaying the first page where the black screen was on the second page of the video display.
Okay Iāll try that next.
Wild try:
soon after you see the flowers background press the ESC key, it should show the boot sequence in text mode and skip the plymouth screen, and ideally bring you to sddm for login.
Does it help?
I unplugged my HDMI monitor and everything booted up without problems. I reconnected the HDMI screen and it displayed without problems with a minor exception that my tiny monitor was changed to Primary without my consent. So that this is clear at first I thought the problem was due to DP being on NVidia and HDMI connected to the AMD video. But I was wrong both are connected to NVidia.
After working with the UI for a while I wanted to reboot into Mint so I could post this. (login wasnāt working)
Issues I found:
This is supposed to be designed for beginners as well as advanced users. The software update screen says otherwise. It is so verbose and uses Terminal ā compare to Mint where it says We will add these modules as well (or it says nothing) and all updating goes on without reporting it. Just showing a status bar so I know it is doing the job. I do not need to know the hundreds of libraries you are updating.
There is no Drivers screen. So I have no idea what driver you are using. Are you using the horrible Nouveau or NVidia? I know the answer in Mint but no in your OS.
When the HDMI monitor was connected you made it primary instead of retaining what was primary. When I rebooted into Mint it was changed as well??!!
When I requested a reboot some things happened, the two monitors displayed the OpenMandriva background and nothing else and just sat there. Mint executes commands and the reboot is initiated.
Your default browser is really strange and you alter the home screen of FireFox. I use FireFox specifically because it lists the favorite websites on the home page not to constantly connect to your home page.
Finding the software library is made harder by not displaying what Iām mousing over. Mint shows that in the lower corner of the screen.
Correct. This is a matter of taste and we are not doing things the way Mint/Ubuntu does them.
Yes there is. Itās in om-welcome.
We cannot possibly guess that your hardware is setup this way. Therefore we did not set anything up to be primary.
The default browser we use is ungoogled-chromium.
Again, we are not Mint. Ubuntu runs older software than we do. Ubuntu does not have a rolling release and that is what you claimed you were using in the beginning of this post. It does not sound like ROME is meeting your expectations. If you want something more like Ubuntu, then you need to install Rock 5.0. Although, it sounds like you would prefer to use Ubuntu primarily. Perhaps running OMLx in a VM might be a better experience for you.
These are just my comments on a system that publishes itself as a system for beginners. Many minor, tiny things add to the experience for a beginner or (more importantly) for a former Windows user. Now Iām not saying that Linux should be Windows but there are many small things that can make the transition easy.
Actually I am pointing out what I think makes Linux Mint a great system for beginners. Do your changes (no non-implementations) make your system worse? Not really. I kept using it regardless of those items.
But since it seems that you ARE writing everything top down to be yours then here is the biggest thing I can express for a system for either advanced users or beginners. STANDARDS! You should have a set of standards that echo in every single piece of code running in OpenMandriva. For example, there is one very simple but ignored standard: CTL-X for cut CTL-C for copy CTL-V for paste. Including Terminal! Every window having File | Edit | Help as specified in Common User Interface Standards. File/Exit Edit/Copy Edit/Paste Help/About are also listed in these standards. They are not standards for the operating system Windows they are universal standards written for any application that displays a window.
Outside of that, I have no idea what you are talking about. Again, I think Ubuntu is probably a better experience for you because you clearly donāt understand. Itās easy to say we arenāt doing these things and we arenāt living up to your expectations when you donāt seem to provide solutions or seem interested in giving us all of the information to help you.
This is very telling. Most people donāt overreact to issues like this unless their expectations are unreasonable.
This seems like what you were trying to prevent before when you talked about overreacting.
This looks like a pile of complaints, mostly because we donāt do the things like Mint does.
Thatās not going to work, sorry.
I can understand the ānext > next > next > okā approach windoze-style, I disagree but I really can understand some users are happy with that instead.
It can make you do whatever without even you know whatās going to happen, but letās forget about it for a moment 
OpenMandriva is different.
If you really are willing to run OpenMandriva and in the mean time to learn something for your own fun and satisfaction please start new topics, one for each issue or perceived like an issue.
Which Terminal uses ctrl+c for copy?

Probably an aesthetic criticism of this:
It doesnāt have the File/Edit/View paradigm out of the box. Even though it has buttons at the top that says āCopyā and āPasteā on them.
As far as I can remember itās always been Ctrl+Shift+C in terminal/s

Ctl+C in the terminal stops the active command. This is STANDARD. Always has been.

Yep, standardsā¦
