Mageia 7 redefines the concept of traditional Linux. It is a solid operating system well suited to both newcomers and seasoned Linux users alike. The Mageia distro is a powerhouse Linux OS filled with features and options unmatched in other Linux versions. Mageia Linux is a fork of the now-defunct Mandriva Linux. It was developed by a team of former employees of the France-based commercial software company that folded Mandriva. The first Mageia version was released in September 2010.
For me Mageia is the same it's always been, a bunch of niggles. The included weather widget for instance fails to run with every boot and needs reconfiguring even though the original configuration is still in place. The alternative and better weather widget available doesn't run at all because unlike with other distros the qtquick-xmllistmodel dependency is not available. You install Conky Manager from their repo and neither the included scripts or anything you add yourself will run. Maybe there's a fix for this but there's a post for it in their forum with zero replies. IMO if anyone wants a RPM based system, ROSA is a much better product.
