The distribution has been developed by the community since 2012, after the Mandriva S.A. company ceased further development. A new name was chosen by user voting, as the company refused to transfer rights to the previous name.<\/p>\n<p>Today, a distinguishing feature of OpenMandriva is the use of LLVM\/clang, focusing on high optimization levels for all system components. It includes many applications specifically designed for OpenMandriva (OM), and significant work is being done to improve support for specific hardware platforms and device lines. In addition to traditional installation, special live mode features are offered. The default graphical environment is KDE, along with systemd tools.<\/p>\n<p>In this release, as planned, the transition to RPMv4 in conjunction with DNF and Dnfdragora has been made. Previously, RPMv5, urpmi, and the GUI rpmdrake were the foundation. The migration was prompted by the fact that the new tool stack is supported by Red Hat. Additionally, RPMv4 is used in the overwhelming majority of rpm distributions. On the other hand, RPMv5 has seen virtually no development over the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>Other significant changes and updates include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>KDE Plasma has been updated to 5.15.5 (with Frameworks 5.58 and Applications 19.04.2, Qt 5.12.3);<\/li>\n<li>LibreOffice is fully integrated with Plasma, providing users with familiar system dialogs and an improved appearance;<\/li>\n<li>Falkon, the KDE web browser using the same rendering engine as Chromium, is now the default browser, reducing memory usage and providing a more consistent user interface;<\/li>\n<li>Since the number of problematic MP3 patents expired between Lx 3 and 4 releases, MP3 decoders and encoders are now included in the main distribution. Video and audio players have also been updated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Applications under the OpenMandriva brand:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>OM Welcome has been significantly updated;<\/li>\n<li>OM Control Center is now included in the main distribution and replaces the outdated DrakX tools;<\/li>\n<li>The OM Repository Management Tool (om-repo-picker) \u2013 a tool for working with DNF repositories and packages is also included in the core.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Live mode:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The menu for selecting the language and keyboard settings has been updated;<\/li>\n<li>At the request of users, card games KPatience have been included in the live image;<\/li>\n<li>New features have been added to the Calamares installer:<\/li>\n<li>Improved capabilities for working with disk partitions;<\/li>\n<li>The Calamares log is now copied to the successfully installed system;<\/li>\n<li>All unused languages are removed at the end of the installation;<\/li>\n<li>Calamares now checks if the system is installed in VirtualBox or on real hardware. Unnecessary packages for VirtualBox are removed on real hardware;<\/li>\n<li>The live image includes om-repo-picker and Dnfdragora \u2013 a graphical interface for the package manager, replacing the old rpmdrake;<\/li>\n<li>Kuser is available \u2013 a tool for managing users and groups, replacing the old userdrake;<\/li>\n<li>Draksnapshot has been replaced with KBackup \u2013 a tool for backing up directories or files;<\/li>\n<li>The live image also includes the OpenMandriva Control Center and OpenMandriva Repository Management Tool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Development tools:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>RPM has transitioned to version 4, the DNF package manager is used as the software package manager;<\/li>\n<li>The main C\/C++ toolset is now based on clang 8.0, glibc 2.29, and binutils 2.32, with new shells that allow tools like nm to work with LTO files generated by either gcc or clang. gcc 9.1 is also available;<\/li>\n<li>The Java stack has been updated to use OpenJDK 12.<\/li>\n<li>Python has been updated to 3.7.3, and dependencies on Python 2.x have been removed from the main installation image (Python 2 is still available in repositories for those who need legacy applications);<\/li>\n<li>Perl, Rust, and Go have also been updated to the latest versions;<\/li>\n<li>All important libraries have been updated to the latest versions (e.g., Boost 1.70, poppler 0.76);<\/li>\n<li>The kernel has been upgraded to version 5.1.9 with additional performance improvements. Kernel 5.2-rc4 is also available in the repositories for testing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Versions of some packages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Systemd 242<\/li>\n<li>LibreOffice 6.2.4<\/li>\n<li>Firefox Quantum 66.0.5<\/li>\n<li>Krita 4.2.1<\/li>\n<li>DigiKam 6.0<\/li>\n<li>Xorg 1.20.4, Mesa 19.1.0<\/li>\n<li>Calamares 3.2.7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Support for hardware has been significantly improved. In addition to the regular driver update cycle (including the graphics stack Mesa 19.1.0), OMLx 4.0 now includes full ports for aarch64 and armv7hnl platforms. A RISC-V port is also in progress but is not yet ready for release. Additionally, versions specifically designed for current AMD processors (Ryzen, ThreadRipper, EPYC) have been created, surpassing the universal version by utilizing new features in these processors (this build will not work on universal x86_64 processors).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention!<\/strong> Developers do not recommend upgrading existing OpenMandriva installations, as the changes are too significant. It is advised to back up existing data and perform a clean installation of OMLx 4.0.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a \ncontent=\"nofollow\" rel=\"nofollow\"
