<br>
I've been on Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia for over 17!!!! years, but from<br>
what I've read, there are quite a few problems with Mageia 6 (I'm<br>
still on 5), and it's really strange that it's been 2 years in the<br>
making.<br>
<br>
So I'm thinking about abandoning ship.<br>
<br>
I definitely want to stay with KDE (never liked Gnome) and I really<br>
like how configurable Mageia is.<br>
<br>
I don't think this should be an issue, but my computer is fairly old (a<br>
4 year old i5 Haswell CPU with 8 Gb).<br>
<br>
I've been thinking about Mint, Kubuntu or Fedora - any thoughts (or<br>
additional options)?<br>
