    @jhketelsen <https://www.openmandriva.org/en/download> "To transfer the live/installation image to an USB storage device you may use: ROSA-imagewriter, KDE isoimagewriter, SUSE Studio ImageWriter, dd command line. Please do not use other usb-writing tools as some Windows tools (e.g. Rufus) truncate the volume name and will break the boot process."

    Great distro! Based on always latest Clang/LLVM instead of GCC. LTO and PGO support by default. Plasma5, LXQT, Lumina, Gnome, Mate, Cinnamon, Budgie, Xfce, i3, IceWM and more desktops/wm availavble in latest version. Try it.

    Hardware probe utility is preinstalled in 4.2. Easy to list hardware and find drivers for unsupported devices.
