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>

What I suggest is that you try upgrading to mageia 6 (after doing a backup) and see if it is working well enough for you, and if not - possibly try a fresh install and only then make a switch. <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
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>

I've been thinking about Mint, Kubuntu or Fedora - any thoughts (or<br>
additional options)?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I use fedora 27 on my laptop and it is nice (but not perfect). One thing I dislike about ubuntu is the weird politically correctness they have on their IRC channels. Regarding mint there is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/826292814153064/permalink/1497333690382303/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/826292814153064/permalink/1497333690382303/</a> . Debian is another option to consider, and it has many derivatives. There is also openSUSE.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
