Well at least it has a way more popular and feature-full DE than any offered by the the nonsensically popular Linux Mint!
I don't know how it was before, but this distro developers seem smart and caring about their users considering the decisions they took, so congratulations and many thanks to them!

But at the moment I don't really see why one would use it instead of OpenSUSE or Fedora, which have similar target audiences and much more mindshare and support (both in terms of help online, developer manpower, and packages/compatibility).

Clang based, with LTO enabled by default, PGO enabled for some core pakages. Rolling release, fresh packages. Iso availavle in classic x86_64 arch but also in znver1 - with optimization for AMD ZEN CPU.
Good for gaming with all needed app/tools like steam, lutris, bootles, mangohud, gamescope etc. and with latest drivers like mesa or nvidia (nv drivers in separate repository called restricted).
Worth to try.

That is what I remember as well, and Mandrake had much more up-to-date packages than RH. But that was a long time ago, and nostalgia helps. Nowadays, I don't know what makes OpenMandriva special. Does anyone have real world experience with it?

I remember Red Hat was releasing i386 ISOs, and Mandrake was releasing i586 ISOs, Mandrake definitely felt much snappier out of the box than RH.

Back in the day Mandrake was such a good distro.
I remember Red Hat was releasing i386 ISOs, and Mandrake was releasing i586 ISOs, Mandrake definitely felt much snappier out of the box than RH.
Interestingly enough, Slackware, that was i686 didn't really feel any faster than Mandrake.
These were the days before we had x86-64 processors.
I have downloaded the COSMIC Mandriva ISO for a test drive, just to see if it's a good candidate for one of my backup computers when COSMIC is finally finished.
