Mageia is maintained by Shlomi Fish and others. You probably should talk 
to him. I don't use it because I only have servers, and they don't have 
a oriented server distro.

Does it run 64 bit code? Some of the distros dropped x86, I know Ubuntu 
did, but it came back with a "user group" provided sub distro.

Linux Mint was developed and maintained by a raving lunatic anti-semite. 
He demanded that his work had nothing to do with the IDF because it 
violently oppresses the Palestinian people. That is impossible, because 
many of the maintainers of all distros use code from Israel, and most of 
the people here serve milluim.

He was eventually chastised to the point he claims he apologized, but if 
you can find his apologies, it was for setting off the Jews who control 
the world.  You probably can't find them, as when he was called out on 
his slap in the face apologies,  he deleted all the relevant blog postings.
