J'ai essayé pendant un temps #MandrakeLinux puis #Mandriva, mais jamais #Mageia

Je ne nierai pas ma préférence tout de même pour #Ubuntu (pas seulement parce que ça a été ma première distro à 100% et sans dual-boot) ou dérivée.

Certes, elle n'est ni Française ni Européenne, mais d'une part elle a un cycle de vie que je trouve à la fois clair (2 maj majeures/an en avril et octobre) et pertinente (LTS tous les 2 ans) ; et d'autre part #Canonical propose un support professionnel à celui qui le souhaite.

#MyFirstDistro was #Mandriva. This was in Christmas 2006 or 2007 when I was handed my first laptop. Although Mandriva's default desktop environment was KDE, I was using GNOME since I liked how it worked. I tried Ubuntu for half a day before switching to Mandriva.

The author Steven Brust who wrote the Firefly novel "My Own Kind of Freedom" mentioned using its predecessor, Mandrake, in his free book:

For people who care about such things, the book was written in emacs on a box running Mandrake Linux, then I used OpenOffice to format it for printing. The final layout for online publication was created with Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat. People who care about such things need to get a life.

Being a big fan of Firefly at the time I thought it was pretty cool. So there began my journey in FOSS. I have Mandriva's successor, Mageia w/ KDE, on a USB I update every now and then.

And PS Mr. Brust I have a life!! :blobfoxwinkmlem:

A screenshot of Mandriva Linux. It is with GNOME desktop environment. Various quick shortcut icons are at the top bar as well as the default icons and menu. On the desktop section are various more Mandriva icons, shortcuts to hard drives, and the trash icon.
