Mageia is a fork of Mandriva Linux formed in September 2010 by former employees and contributors to the popular French Linux distribution. Unlike Mandriva, which is a commercial entity, the Mageia project is a community project and a non-profit organisation whose goal is to develop a free Linux-based operating system.
Donald Stewart has announced the release of Mageia 7, the new stable version from a community project that forked the defunct Mandriva Linux distribution back in 2010: "Everyone at Mageia is very happy to announce the release of Mageia 7. There are lots of new features, exciting updates and new versions of your favorite programs, as well as support for very recent hardware. There are classical installer images for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, as well as live DVDs for 64-bit Plasma, GNOME, Xfce and 32-bit Xfce. Mageia 7 comes with a huge variety of desktops and window managers, improved support for Wayland and hybrid graphics cards. On a more fun note, an effort was made to enhance gaming in Mageia, so there are many new upgrades and additions to the game collection. Here are the versions of some of the major packages that ship with Mageia 7: Linux kernel 5.1.14, rpm 4.14.2, dnf 4.2.6, MESA 19.1, Plasma Desktop 5.15.4, GNOME 3.32, Xfce 4.13.4, Firefox 67, Chromium 73, LibreOffice 6.2.3.
