OpenMandriva Lx is an independent, community-driven Linux distribution and a direct descendant of Mandriva Linux.

Two editions:
* ROME (Rolling OpenMandriva Edition), the rolling release, always up to date. Current images: 26.09.
* Rock, the fixed-point release, for those who prefer stability. Current: 6.0.

The whole distribution is built with LLVM/Clang, with LTO and PGO, and offers optimised builds for modern AMD CPUs (znver1). Default desktop: KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland and X11); GNOME, LXQt, Xfce and MATE are also available.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

    @jhketelsen <https://www.openmandriva.org/en/download> "To transfer the live/installation image to an USB storage device you may use: ROSA-imagewriter, KDE isoimagewriter, SUSE Studio ImageWriter, dd command line. Please do not use other usb-writing tools as some Windows tools (e.g. Rufus) truncate the volume name and will break the boot process."

    Great distro! Based on always latest Clang/LLVM instead of GCC. LTO and PGO support by default. Plasma5, LXQT, Lumina, Gnome, Mate, Cinnamon, Budgie, Xfce, i3, IceWM and more desktops/wm availavble in latest version. Try it.

    Hardware probe utility is preinstalled in 4.2. Easy to list hardware and find drivers for unsupported devices.
