the release of the distribution . The project is being developed by the community after Mandriva S.A. handed over project management to the non-profit organization 'OpenMandriva Association'. To download The live build is 2.6 GB (x86_64), the 'znver1' version, optimized for AMD Ryzen, ThreadRipper, and EPYC processors, along with variants built on a kernel compiled with Clang.
In :
- In addition to the standard Linux kernel compiled in GCC (package 'kernel-release'), a variant of the kernel compiled in Clang ('kernel-release-clang') has been added. Clang is already used as the default compiler in OpenMandriva, but until now, the kernel had to be built in GCC;
- The Clang compiler used for building packages has been updated to LLVM 9.0 branch. All components of the distribution can now be built using only Clang;
- Zypper has been proposed as an alternative package manager;
- New versions of Linux kernel 5.5, Glibc 2.30, systemd 244, Java 13, Qt 5.14.1, KDE Frameworks 5.66, KDE Plasma 5.17.5, KDE Applications 19.12.1, LibreOffice 6.4.0, Falkon 3.1.0, Krita 4.2.8, Kdenlive 19.12.1, SMPlayer 19.10.2, DigiKam 7.0.0 have been integrated;
- Firefox 72.0.2 is also available in the repositories,
the Chromium browser 79.0.3945.130,
VirtualBox 6.1.2,
Thunderbird 68.4.1,
GIMP 2.10.14; - A Desktop Presets configurator (om-feeling-like) has been added, offering a set of presets that allow the KDE Plasma desktop to resemble the interfaces of other environments (like Ubuntu, Windows 7, Windows 10, macOS, etc.);
- Support for package compression using the zstd algorithm has been added instead of the previously used 'xz'. Rebuilding packages in zstd format resulted in a slight increase in package size, but significant speedup in unpacking;
- Support for the AV1 video codec has been added to the Ffmpeg package using dav1d and nvdec/nvenc for NVIDIA GPUs. VAAPI support for hardware video decoding in h264 and vp9 formats has been enabled in Chromium;
- NX Firewall has been proposed instead of firewall-config to simplify firewall configuration; ;
- A new utility Update Configuration (om-update-config) has been added, designed to manage automatic updates.
- The dehydrated project has changed ownership
