OpenMandriva ROME 22.12 Platinum Candidate Released For This Clang-Built Rolling Distro

The OpenMandriva Linux distribution crew that traces its roots back to the days of Mandrake Linux is out with a "platinum" release candidate of their upcoming OpenMandriva ROME 22.12 release, which is their rolling release flavor.

OpenMandriva ROME is their rolling release version of the distribution to ship immediately the latest fixes and other improvements. Following the ROME Gold Candidate, the ROME 22.12 Platinum Candidate is now available and features the latest Linux 6.0 kernel. One of the unique aspects of OpenMandriva is that it continues preferring the LLVM Clang compiler over GCC and builds its kernel and other key system packages using Clang by default.
