Mageia 8

Mageia

Mageia è un fork di Mandriva Linux nato nel Settembre 2010 da impiegati e contribuenti della popolare distribuzione Francese. A differenza di Mandriva, che è una entità commerciale, il progetto Mageia è mantenuto da una società no profit e l’obbiettivo è quello di sviluppare un sistema operativo Linux gratuito.

Versione 8

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

Plasma

Plasma, the desktop environment from the KDE community, is provided as version 5.20.4, built on top of Qt 5.15.2 and KDE Frameworks 5.76 and with KDE Applications 20.12.0.

If you want to try Plasma under Wayland, install plasma-workspace-wayland, and it should appear in your favourite display manager’s list of desktop environments at log in.

Note also that Wayland session with Nvidia’s 455 (current) nonfree-drivers is available by making sure that “nokmsboot” is removed and “nouveau.modeset=0” is passed to Kernel command line. – This is provided as Technology Preview for testers.

The default display manager (DM) for the Plasma environment is the Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM).

If you have Compiz enabled in Mageia 7, disable it before upgrade, see Errata.

Plasma has a specific 64-bit LiveDVD and it can also be installed from the Classical DVD ISO (traditional installer).

GNOME

GNOME 3.38.3 is provided. It now defaults to running on Wayland, but also provides an alternative “GNOME on Xorg” session. Note that with Nvidia’s nonfree drivers, GNOME defaults to start an X11 session.

For those preferring the GNOME 2 look and feel, GNOME 3 also provides a “Gnome Classic” session.

GNOME has a specific 64-bit LiveDVD and it can also be installed from the Classical DVD ISO (traditional installer).

LXDE

The very lightweight GTK+2-based desktop environment is still available and continues to receive improvements from upstream and our Mageia maintainer, even though its community has partly refocused on LXQt.

LXDE can be installed from the Classical DVD ISO (traditional installer).

Xfce

Xfce 4.16 is provided.

Xfce has dedicated 32-bit and 64-bit LiveDVDs and it can also be installed from the Classical DVD ISO (traditional installer).

LXQt

LXQt 0.16.0 is provided.

LXQt cannot be installed out of the box from the Classical DVD ISO (traditional installer) due to space constraints on the ISOs. Online media need to be added to enable more options during the initial installation – this is explained in the installer documentation (Note: use documentation for release 7 until the new one is ready). As transparency compositor in combination with openbox, picom replaces compton – may need manual adjustment.

MATE

MATE 1.24.2 is provided.

MATE can be installed from the Classical DVD ISO (traditional installer). Due to DVD space considerations, some applications such as mate-screenshot (screenshot application) are not included in Classical DVD ISO. For a full MATE Desktop experience, users are advised to install task-mate package after initial installation.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon 4.8.3 is provided.

Cinnamon can be installed from the Classical DVD ISO (traditional installer).

Enlightenment

The Enlightenment task package comes with E24.2 and Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) 1.25.1 — including the Elementary, Evas-generic-loaders and Evas-generic-players packages. Among the highlights of this version is Bluez5 support, an improved screenshot tool, a more flexible music control module, the Evisum system monitor, the now integrated Polkit-EFL authentication agent, and a separate configuration for applications to be loaded when restarting E.
