New to OpenMandriva but not Linux

Coffee break Introduce yourself
1

Hello all,
I have been using Linux for the past 20 years. I have never used OpenMandriva. I used Mageia Linux on and off again. I mainly have distro hopped for the whole time. Now since everything in the USA where I love is politicized, and all I want to do it use Linux, play games and such. I don’t have time to debate about ideologies and things that happened before I was born and had no part of. Like I said I just want to use Linux and love my life.

I am glad for the video and how this distro handles things like that. I, like many others, have installed or at least tried out OpenMandriva. I am happy about my choice. When I first logged in I installed the Nvidia drivers and it was lagging really bad then I actually read (who would of thought to do that) that Wayland is not a great choice with Nvidia on this distro so a simple reinstall to x11 and this distro is awesome! It has everything I want and need.

I said all that to say this. Thank you to the wonderful team at OpenMandriva. I have only thought about donating money to a project when Pardus was around but now when I get paid I am donating to this project as I feel like I’m not discriminated against for being me.

I tended to use independent distros. Made life hard for gaming until a couple years ago. Now I’m not forced to use a distro that views me as evil

When I was a teenager, we used to drive from Jackson to Chillicothe to get Taco Bell since it was the closest one. What can I say, there wasn’t much to do in small town Ohio.
