   3   OpenMandriva is a 100% community controlled Linux distribution.
   4
   5   With (OMLx 4.2) Plasma 5.20.5, KDE Frameworks 5.78, Qt 5.12.2 and LibreOffice
   6    7.1, it is one of the most current distributions available.
   7
   8   OpenMandriva was
   9    the first Linux distribution to switch to a clang based toolchain. In the current
  10    version, even the kernel is built with clang 11.
  11
  12   While the primary focus of
  13    OpenMandriva is on the desktop, its repositories also contain a state of the art
  14    server stack.

  16   <p>OpenMandriva is aiming at being easy to get into for newbies, while being
  17     one of the most innovative distributions for developers. We were the first to
  18     switch to the clang toolchain, and are working on new interesting developer features
  19     for our 5.0 release.</p>
  20   <p>OpenMandriva can work on x86_64 systems as well as aarch64
  21     (not sharing some other distributions' limitation to UEFI compliant aarch64 server
  22     platforms), and can run as a desktop, workstation, server, or - since the advent
  23     of OpenMandriva on PinePhone - smartphone.</p>
  24   <p>You may want to pay us a visit if
  25     you're interested in getting into Linux or you're looking for a project that can
  26     use your help as a volunteer.</p>
  27   <p>OpenMandriva is not based on any other distribution.
  28     Contributors who are so inclined can do more than just submit a new theme or add
  29     an extra package.</p>

  32   <p>OpenMandriva has come a long way in porting to new hardware: In addition
  33     to the traditional x86_64 distribution and the extra version optimized specifically
  34     for AMD Ryzen processors, OpenMandriva now runs on Pinebook Pro, Cubox Pulse,
  35     various ARM devboards, and UEFI capable Aarch64 servers. A phone stack running
  36     on PinePhone is in the works (and ready for initial use). A RISC-V port is also
  37     in the works (presently running in qemu) and should be ready for daily use shortly
  38     after we can get our hands on Hifive Unmatched boards.</p>
  39   <p>With the 4.2 release
  40     done, our main focus has moved to 5.0 - which will bring many improvements to
  41     the core system, such as making crosscompiling and targeting multiple architectures
  42     easier than ever.
