Linux Is Best

The big difference with Open Mandriva Linux is you do not need to use the terminal to enable non-free firmware, drivers, or media codecs.

You simply need to open the app called, "Software Repository Selector" and check the boxes for the repositories you wish to enable. Once done, you can open either the store app or dnf dragon, for example, and install whatever you need.

It is point and click, easy.

Linux Is Best

From a simple user point of view, if you have used Fedora, you will be familiar with Open Mandriva Linux.

Both use RPM packages and Dnf package manager. You can even download and install 3rd party RPM packages, for example, I installed iVpn directly from their website.

Their "Cooker" build is comparable to Fedora's "rawhide". Their "Rome" build is comparable "Fedora Release". Lastly, "Rock" is comparable to centOS.

Sceenshot shows fast fetch running, which reports that Open Mandriva Linux v25.04. In the background is the default desktop wallpaper of Open Mandriva Linux, Rome. Rome is their rolling release. The wallpaper shows a dark blue background with large pink lotus flower.

#OpenMandriva Association President sent an e-mail to Lunduke.

Lunduke being the only source makes it untrustworthy, but they seem to double down on the forum and the 'WokeOS' shell mentioned below, is real and served from lindev.ch.

The e-mail (probably not in order or in full):

"We are, of course, a Linux based project (sadly, currently there's nothing else with the same level of hardware support), so we certainly use some code from the woke crowd - but in our own project, we're pretty much the opposite."

  • Bernhard RosenkranzerPresident, OpenMandriva Association

"We don't do DEI (or DIE, as we prefer to call it), we look at the quality of contributions rather than the views, gender or race of people trying to make them. We refuse to ban contributors for being conservative, straight, Russian or anything else considered a no-go in mainstream projects."

1/2

Code from the WokeOS shell: [...] // Some conservative neo-nazis have said this is a security problem and we // shouldn't echo the password, but WE BELIEVE IN INFORMATION SHARING! // Mis-"feature" request DENIED! std::cin >> password; if (user != "root") { std::cout << "Sorry, but it's really unfair to have users other than root, since they would have different privileges!\n"; return 1; } if (password == "password") { // hardcoded, but why would anyone want to use a different password? show_prompt(); return 0; } std::cout << "\nI'm very sorry, this is not the password set for this machine. Please tell me a little about you:\n"; bool super_minority = true; std::string reply; std::cout << "Are you gay? "; std::cin >> reply; if (reply.front() != 'y') super_minority = false; std::cout << "Are you transgender? "; std::cin >> reply; if (reply.front() != 'y') super_minority = false; std::cout << "Do you identify as a person of color? "; std::cin >> reply; if (reply.front() != 'y') super_minority = false; if (super_minority) { std::cout << "That's great! This OS will now grant you the same privileges a straight white man who knows the password has!\n"; show_prompt(true); return 0; } std::cout << "I'm super duper sorry, but you are not a minority by 2020s standards.\n"; std::cout << "Please embrace modern progressivism and come back as a drag queen to get a chance at entering the WokeOS powered world!\n"; return 1; }
Alt text too long, view the full script which is listed in the next post of this thread instead. Here's some parts however: "Before proceeding, you have to agree to the Code of Conduct for this tool.\n" "\n" "You will not use this tool against Processes of Color (PoC), gay,\n" "transgender or disabled processes.\n" "\n" "You will use the \"kill\" command only as a last resort, after \"nag\",\n" "\"beat up\", \"complain\", \"whine\" and \"terrorize\" have failed.\n" "\n" "Unless, of course, the victim is a Russian, a Nazi/Trumpist, or worse,\n" "someone who isn't woke. In that case, no restrictions apply.\n" doit = triggerWarning( "The \"top\" command is, by its very nature, elitist and ableist.\n" "\n" "It discriminates against processes that are unable to fully utilize\n" "the CPU or the available memory.\n" "\n" "While the WokeOS kernel makes a great effort to eliminate this\n" "inequality, for example by performing random calculations inside\n" "idle processes or randomly allocating memory to processes that\n" "haven't had the same chances as a more privileged process to\n" "ask for it, you may still see an unfair list of \"top\" processes.\n" "\n" "We are, of course, giving every process not in the list a\n" "virtual participation trophy.\n"
Bero: Cześć, Witamy w OpenMandriva! The statement was a private email sent in response to the “all OSes are woke” video, but it was fully quoted. If you need anything else, simply let me know. The full source file for the WokeOS shell can be found at https://lindev.ch/wokeos.cpp 14 What problems are you having with KDE? It works perfectly for me, but of course I’m so used to it that I probably wouldn’t notice if something was odd. Your English sucks way less than my Polish. :wink:
Quoting jfmherokiller's reply: as somone from the other side of the aisle (eg im the rare gay furry) I honestly want a distro that is “quiet” because all the virtue signaling hurts our side as well. Bero: Welcome. Nobody here (or at least nobody I’m aware of) hates you or “your side”. Many of us have issues with those trying to force everyone to one side, or with excessive virtue signaling. And we’re pro-Free Speech – if someone wants to say there’s only 2 genders, that’s fine (and probably the majority opinion), if someone wants to say there’s 1000, that’s fine too. It only becomes a problem when one side starts accusing the other of being bigots/nazis/whatever. People are absolutely free to disagree and even make fun of the “other side”. It’s funny how a lot of those who make “Diversity” one of their main key words don’t realize that diversity of opinion is part of the diversity they really should be pushing for.

Jesus, people were not joking when they said #Skia is a bad open source citizen. The docs are incredibly obtuse, don’t go thoroughly through the library’s features, and… I don’t even have any idea if I built the library correctly, or how to use it in a project! Maybe this is basic #C++ knowledge and I’m a noob, but still. It doesn’t help that you can’t just install it as a package like #Cairo, although #OpenMandriva does offer an RPM package, which I will check (maybe it works on #Fedora too, who knows 🤷‍♂️).
