OpenMandriva Lx

OpenMandriva Lx is a general-purpose Linux distribution maintained by the OpenMandriva Association for x86_64 (64-bit) and ARM computers. It is a community-supported continuation of Mandriva Linux, which was active from 1998 (as Mandrake) until 2011. OpenMandriva is offered in a stable release edition, and (since 2023) a rolling release edition named Rome. It uses the RPM Package Manager and uses KDE Plasma as its default desktop environment.

OpenMandriva Lx's development environment is an ABF (Automated Build Farm) which can manage the source code and compile it to binaries. ABF also creates the package repository and ISO images.

OpenMandriva Lx is a community Linux distribution. Originally an offering of Mandriva Linux, the OpenMandriva product was created in May, 2012, when Mandriva S.A. avoided bankruptcy by abandoning the development of its consumer product to the Mandriva community.

The OpenMandriva Association was established on December 12, 2012, under 1901 French law, to represent the OpenMandriva Community.

OpenMandriva Lx 2013.0 was released on November 22, 2013, with codename "Oxygen".

This version was the first release of OpenMandriva Lx, and was the fork of Mandriva Linux 2011.0, which was itself an amalgamation of ROSA Linux and Mandriva Linux. The version includes KDE 4.11.2. Menu in OpenMandriva Lx 2013.0 was SimpleWelcome, and also this version included media player ROSA Media Player 1.6, Mozilla Firefox 25.0, LibreOffice 4.1.3 and the Linux kernel 3.11.6.

OpenMandriva Lx 2014 "Phosphorus" was released on 1 May 2014. The release had a very positive review from one of the founders of the initial Mandrake Linux distribution, Gaël Duval.

OpenMandriva Lx 2014.2, codenamed "The Scion", a bugfix release for 2014.1, was released on 29 June 2015.
