Today's release announcment of Mageia 8, alleges that it ships with three repositories, one of which is disabled. One of their repos contains non-free stuff, and can be disabled. The disabled one contains the controversial codecs which may be illegal in your country.
I recall someone suggesting that Mageia can ship their iso that way because tjey are in France.
I do believe that the developmemt team at Mageia is only about 30 volunteers.
From my perspective, they do not use third-party repos. Right ?
I assume Mageia's core repo is not as up-to-date as Fedoras.
I assume Mageia 8 is way behind Fedora 34 Beta.
It would seem to me, that if a user prefers LXDE, or LXQt, or Mate or Xfce or a window-manager, that it would not matter what distro you choose.
I do not think Mageia has Budgie DE.
Mageia only offers one iso, where as Fedora has custom isos. Right ? Meaning, in order to get Mageia 8 LXQt, you must first install Mageia 8.
I think a newbie could learn on Mageia 8 and then later on learn to prefer Fedora. Right ?
I assume they do not use anaconda as their instllaler, but have something that the old Mandriva had.
Feel free to enlightmemt me.
Cheers,
David Locklear
