From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mageia is one I really liked, but felt limited with the package manager, or more precisely the repository.
I will definitely try it again. It seems so solid yet underrated. I love that it uses .rpm, because it opens up a world of software without the pain of installing from an archive.
What was missing/limiting you in the repo ?
Yes, it's very stable.
A new release is coming in the next weeks/months, maybe a good opportunity to try it again.
I do not remember, probably something I don't even use anymore.
Anyways, stability is more important than anything else. I don't want to be good at troubleshooting my OS, I just want it to work! I have gotten comfortable with installing software manually.
