Mageia is a community-driven, independent Linux distribution with French roots—not based on Ubuntu or Fedora. Designed for flexibility, it supports multiple desktop environments, making it suitable for everything from old PCs to modern workstations.
Key Features:
✅ Lightweight to Heavyweight DEs: Choose from Xfce (lightweight), KDE (feature-rich), Cinnamon (user-friendly), MATE (GNOME 2 fork), and more.
✅ Multiple Use Cases: Works as a desktop OS, web server, or live USB (no installation needed).
✅ Broad Hardware Support: Runs on x86_64, ARM, and even older 32-bit (i586) machines.
✅ Strong Community: Active forums and resources for troubleshooting.
Who Is It For?
Users who want a non-corporate, customizable Linux.
Those needing a lightweight OS for older hardware (via Xfce/LXDE).
