![]() Finally, for software availability I say Mageia 8 is good. Because of all these built-in applications, I can say it is a complete suite of desktop OS we all want. Last but not least here, I want to mention it even brings GNU Emacs the legendary text editor which even the fully free distros do not include - that means, it of course a positive value for Emacs lovers to try Mageia 8. Click here to learn how to install Mageia. ![]() Tools included in the LiveCD are GParted partition editor as well as basic commands like lsblk and df. All my hardware detected completely, for example, my wifi works, as well as my 3D graphics acceleration and bluetooth. The installation is as quick and easy as Ubuntu's by about 10 minutes - with device drivers included. Technically, in short Mageia 8 supports x86 completely but does not support other than that such as ARM - that means we can run Mageia 8 on PCs but not in Raspberry Pi and PineBook-like computers - when at the same time Ubuntu and Mageia sibling, OpenMandriva, is now dropping x86_32 and already embracing ARM32 as well as ARM64. Important thing to notice is that right now Mageia is no longer available for CD as the smallest installer size is now 2GB (CD is 700MB) and this follows how Ubuntu now is. For users with technical advantages, Mageia is also available as Netboot just like Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora are. ![]() For the sake of user's tastes, Mageia is available in three edition choices of desktop environments namely KDE Plasma, GNOME, and Xfce. Mageia 8 is available for both old and modern PC computers - meaning it as a whole is available for your 64 and 32 bits architectures including the software and the updates too. ![]() Full Installer 4GB no LiveCD for x86_32 Full Installer 4GB no LiveCD for x86_64 ![]()
