Looking for The right ROME Slim ISO

Hello,
My actual machine specs are globally:

It’s not a war machine, enough for coding, but that’s not the point.

Saw a post of somebody struggling to find the right ISO to download and I can confirm, it’s a real pain to get a straight “Call to action” pointing to the main versions.

So, who knows where can I find the ROME Slim version compatible with my machine? And when we are at it ^^, how small can the USB stick be if all I need is being able to boot from it and test some things in the console …would 12Go be enough.

Thaaaank you :slight_smile:

8gb works just fine for a bootable flash drive.

Great :partying_face:

…downloading. Thx.

Hi, I also had the same issue trying to find the right ISO… a lot of back and forth between pages, and pages… ultimately, I found a similar page to the one linked above this post and downloaded “OpenMandrivaLx.rolling-snapshot.20250118.3579-plasma6x11.x86_64.iso”. Is this the right one, or a suitable ISO?

I also wanted to mention that the download took a really long time. Like, at least 5 hours or something crazy like that (I didn’t say in front of the computer to check!)

Thank you!

It is the latest regular ROME plasma6.x11 x86_64 build

I start a new one right now though.

Yep that happens sometimes, while abf is sync-ing with the mirrors, or it’s a bit overloaded by many updates building at that same time, or this kind of events.
Usually under the regular conditions ISOs download takes around 10 or so minutes.
The good old fix is always the same: ‘Try again later’ :wink:

I do love a good old “fix” like that, always reliable :smiley: But to be honest I’d rather not tempt my luck and just go with the ISO that I already downloaded… am I good to assume that it will work all the same?

Sorry if this sounds too basic or dumb, I don’t have any experience with rolling release distributions. I’ve been using Ubuntu, Mint, etc…

Thank you for the welcoming, cheers!
