OpenMandriva ROME 24.12, ahora con ‘spin’ cósmico

Courtesy of muylinux
Thanks

[…] OpenMandriva se sirve en dos sabores: estable y rolling-release, o Lx y ROME, respectivamente. Del primero queda el lanzamiento hace algo más de un año de OpenMandriva Lx 5.0, última versión hasta la fecha. Del segundo, el que nos ocupa, tuvimos una actualización más reciente, cuando en verano apareció OpenMandriva ROME 24.07, con el aliciente de dar el salto a KDE Plasma 6.

¿Y qué aliciente tiene OpenMandriva ROME 24.12, como para volver a cubrir su lanzamiento? La introducción de un nuevo spin en su oferta: COSMIC, el escritorio desarrollado por System76 para Pop!_OS, aunque como se ve, comienza a extenderse ya por otros sistemas. Eso sí, solo para pruebas, pues continúa en fase alfa, tal y como lo llegó el pasado agosto a la propia Pop!_OS.

Sea como fuere, no deja de ser curioso que OpenMandriva se haya atrevido a adoptar el escritorio pese a estar en una fase de desarrollo tan temprana. Pero ya se puede probar, además de con Pop!_OS, con OpenMandriva ROME… Y con Fedora, Arch Linux, openSUSE… La vida se abre camino, que decía | Ian Malcolm. Para más datos, el sitio oficial de COSMIC.

Con todo, cabe señalar que el entorno de escritorio predeterminado de OpenMandriva Lx y ROME es KDE Plasma, incluido en la nueva imagen en su última versión estable (6.2.4 y KDE Applications 24.08.3), por defecto sobre X11 (advierten de problemas con Wayland en VirtualBox, pero más allá de eso no se entiende bien que una vez instalado el sistema no se use el nuevo protocolo gráfico).

Además de Plasma y COSMIC, OpenMandriva ROME ofrece spins con GNOME y LXQt, como buena rolling-release, todo en su versión estable más reciente. […]

OpenMandriva Lx 24.12: Ny version med toppmodern teknologi och nya funktioner

Thanks

OpenMandriva är en Linux-distribution med rötter i den klassiska Mandriva Linux, skapad för att ge användare en kraftfull, användarvänlig och högpresterande plattform. Distributionen riktar sig både till nybörjare och avancerade användare, med en rullande release-modell för de som vill ha den senaste teknologin (ROME), samt en stabilare version (Rock) för mer konservativa användare. Nu är den senaste versionen, OpenMandriva Lx 24.12, här med en rad spännande nyheter.

Den nya versionen bygger på Linux-kärnan 6.12 LTS, vilket ger förbättrad prestanda och stabilitet. Kärnan är dessutom byggd med Clang-kompilatorn för att maximera optimeringarna. Som standard kommer OpenMandriva Lx 24.12 med KDE Plasma 6.2.4, den senaste versionen av denna populära skrivbordsmiljö, tillsammans med KDE Gear 24.08.3 och KDE Frameworks 6.8.

Andra skrivbordsmiljöer, som GNOME 47 och LXQt 2.1, finns också tillgängliga. För första gången erbjuder OpenMandriva en variant med System76:s COSMIC-skrivbordsmiljö, som är byggd i det moderna programmeringsspråket Rust. COSMIC erbjuder en minimalistisk och framtidsorienterad användarupplevelse. […]

English?

Underneath the non-English post there should be World icon or View Translation icon. That icon seems to disappear sometimes for me but works most of the time.

Didn’t find those.

Rilasciata OpenMandriva ROME 24.12: Introduzione del COSMIC Spin e Altre Innovazioni

Courtesy of laseroffice.it
Grazie

OpenMandriva ROME 24.12 ha recentemente introdotto il nuovo Spin (una variante che offre un diverso ambiente desktop o una configurazione predefinita di software) COSMIC, insieme a KDE Plasma 6.2, software all’avanguardia e aggiornamenti focalizzati sulla privacy. Questa versione segna un importante passo avanti per la distribuzione “rolling release“, a quasi 5 mesi dalla versione precedente OpenMandriva Rome 24.07.

La nuova versione arriva con il kernel Linux 6.12 LTS e include una serie di aggiornamenti e nuove funzionalità. Sul fronte desktop, OpenMandriva ROME 24.12 viene fornita con KDE Plasma 6.2, che attualmente utilizza il sistema X11. Questo approccio potrebbe sembrare anacronistico, considerando la crescente migrazione dell’ecosistema GNU/Linux verso Wayland; tuttavia, è disponibile separatamente un’immagine ISO di KDE Plasma 6 per Wayland.

In aggiunta, la distribuzione offre diverse varianti con i più recenti ambienti desktop GNOME 47, LXQt 2.1 e persino il classico KDE Plasma 5, per coloro che desiderano esplorare alternative.

Uno dei punti salienti di OpenMandriva ROME 24.12 è l’introduzione del nuovo ambiente desktop COSMIC, attualmente in fase di sviluppo e realizzato da System76 nella sua versione Alpha 4. Questa novità rappresenta un’opportunità per gli utenti di testare un’interfaccia innovativa e promettente.

OpenMandriva ROME 24.12 si rivolge anche agli appassionati di giochi su GNU/Linux, includendo Proton e Proton-Experimental direttamente nel repository software di OpenMandriva. Questo consente agli utenti di accedere a Proton senza la necessità di Steam o codice proprietario, un vantaggio significativo per chi sostiene i principi dell’open-source.

Il tool OM-Welcome Startup and Configuration continua a evolversi, offrendo moduli più intuitivi per semplificare l’installazione delle applicazioni più popolari. Questo strumento è progettato per rendere l’esperienza utente più semplice e accessibile. […]

I’m a Linux power user, and I recommend this distro to newbies and experts alike

Thanks for the nice review

If you’re looking for a sensible operating system that takes a practical approach to the desktop, OpenMandriva is worth a look.

It’s rare to find a Linux distribution that’s not based on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, or Arch. That’s not to say they don’t exist, but they are hard to find.
One such distribution is OpenMandriva (officially, OpenMandriva Lx), which is a community version of the once-heralded Mandriva (which was based on the long-since-dead Mandrake Linux). Mandrake was a very special take on Linux because it had one very important goal: make Linux easy to use for all.

I’d go so far as to say that OpenMandriva’s OM Welcome tool is the best of the best because it does an outstanding job of holding a new user’s hand to introduce them to what’s what, while also giving advanced users easy access to configurations hardware options, and more.

One of my favorite aspects of OpenMandriva is that it’s fully independent. Because it’s not based on any other Linux distribution, it has complete autonomy to do what it wants, which is to remain as pragmatic as possible. On top of that, OpenMandriva was the first Linux distribution to ever be built with Clang (a compiler front end for the “C” programming languages C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++).
Clang is a modular, open-source replacement for GCC, but this doesn’t really matter to new users. What is important is that OpenMandriva isn’t dependent on any other Linux distribution, so it’s free to be exactly what it wants to be… and it does that very well.

Anyone coming off of the headache that is the end of Windows 10 would be remiss if they didn’t give OpenMandriva a try. It’s beautiful, flexible, and as easy to use as whatever OS is currently on your computer.

Az OpenMandriva Lx 24.12 új kiadása megérkezett: COSMIC-us élmény 6.12-vel

Thanks

Az OpenMandriva csapata kiadtaaz OpenMandriva Lx 24.12-es verzióját, amely a Mandriva Linux utódjának „ROME” gördülő kiadású sorozatának legújabb pillanatképét jelenti. A kiadás modern GNU/Linux technológiákkal, új asztali környezeti lehetőségekkel és továbbfejlesztett szoftverekkel érkezik. Az OpenMandriva különleges helyet foglal el a tapasztalt Linux-felhasználók szívében, felidézve figyelemre méltó örökségének dédelgetett emlékeit. A Mandrake és a Mandriva, két történelmileg jelentős Linux disztribúció folytatását és evolúcióját képviseli, amelyekkel sokan kezdtük Linuxos kalandunkat több mint 20 évvel ezelőtt.

Az OpenMandriva Lx 24.12 a Linux 6.12 LTS kernelt használja, amelyet a Clang fordítóval építettek. Az alapértelmezett asztali környezet mostantól a KDE Plasma 6.2, pontosabban a KDE Plasma 6.2.4 verziója, amelyet a KDE Gear 24.08.3 és a KDE Frameworks 6.8 szoftvercsomagok kísérnek.
Emellett a GNOME és LXQt verziók is frissültek, így a GNOME 47 és LXQt 2.1 környezetek érhetők el. Az OpenMandriva Lx 24.12 egyik legérdekesebb újdonsága az új „spin”, amely a System76 által fejlesztett, Rust-alapú COSMIC asztali környezetet mutatja be. […]
