I don't remember if I asked this before, but why did you choose (Mandrake/Mandriva/)Mageia?

“[...] but why did you choose (Mandrake/Mandriva/)Mageia?”
Initially, because it was, IMHO, the best GNU distribution for beginners. I was no beginner, but I figured, I should know such a system well, if I was to recommend it and install it to other (newbie) people.
So I made it my main system, and over a decade has gone by =)
Nowadays, in its "Mageia incarnation", there's the added bonus of being a community-based distribution. Back in the day it was managed by a community-friendly company, but still a company.
Since, besides being newbie-friendly and community-based, it works really well, I've had zero reasons to change ;)

Thanks for your answer. I'm gonna share why I chose (open)SUSE:
I must confess that when I started learning and testing GNU/Linux the main distributions I knew where Red Hat, Mandrake and SuSE (I don't remeber if I knew Debian existed or if it seemed too complicated to install the GUI). I didn't want to depend on an USAmerican distribution, and because of historical rivalry with France I didn't want a french distribution either. So I chose the german distribution: SuSE 7.2.
It was a pain in the ass to install any program, searching for the rpm for the program I wanted to install, that depended on another package I had to search and install, and so on. I was about to switch back to Windows but I didn't want to hear my colleages mocking at me (I was the "free software advocate" in the company), so I kept with SuSE.
That experience gave me quite confidence with the distribution and I don't remeber in what version everything seemed easier to me. I still continued testing Mandrake, Red Hat and other distributions (*BSD, for instance) once in a while but SuSE seemed to me the one with more programs preinstalled for the regular user, and it seemed easy for newbies as well.
There was a moment of uncertainty when Novell acquired SuSE, but when it became a community distribution named openSUSE everything went better and better. That was the moment when I started to recomend to my family and friends to instal openSuSE, and those who accepted are happy with their choice.
And now with a rolling distribution as openSUSE Tumbleweed I'm more than happy.

2016-12-17T22:35:48Z via Dianara To: Public CC: Followers
Hey there, Pumpers! o/
A new version of my Pump.io client, Dianara, is out!
It's a rather small release. Main changes are:
- HTTP redirections will be followed when loading images (Qt 5 only).
- Duration of popup notifications is now configurable, and notifications can be set to be persistent.
- Some input fields will show a button to clear them (Qt 5 only).
- Added Galician translation by @EVAnaRkISTO (thanks!).
As you can see, a couple of the changes will only be present if you build Dianara with Qt 5.x. You'll need a Qt5-built version of QOAuth for that. Mageia Cauldron (future Mageia 6), the Debian Experimental repository (and soon in Sid, directly) and Archlinux, among others, offer this already.
As for the future, I'll probably make a small-ish 1.3.7 release still supporting Qt 4, and then jump to a 1.4.0, supporting only Qt 5.x and dropping support for Qt 4.x. That would be around mid-2017, which I think makes sense ;)

Update now. :)

No, Debian has a qt5 version of qoauth in experimental, but not Dianara. There's ongoing work on this on the VCS though.

Testing Dianara 1.3.6 beta
2016-12-08T00:17:16Z via Dianara To: Public, EVAnaRkISTO, Bd Sn CC: Followers
Hi! I'm planning to release Dianara before the end of the month. This will be a small release, with the following improvements:
- HTTP redirections will be followed when loading images (Qt 5 only).
- Duration of popup notifications is now configurable, and notifications can be set to be persistent. What making a notification "persistent" means, is up to the desktop environment.
- Several input fields will show a button to clear them (Qt 5 only).
- Added full Galician translation by @EVAnaRkISTO. Thanks! =)
Building with Qt 5.x is the recommended option, if your distribution provides a Qt5-built version of QOAuth. As you can see, a couple of the new things will only be there if Qt 5 is used.
Mageia 6, Debian Sid+Experimental and Archlinux provide a Qt5-based QOAuth.
You can clone it with git. See https://gitlab.com/dianara/dianara-dev.
If you maintain any of the translations, now is a good time to update them. Thanks!
Testing and feedback is appreciated, as always!
Cheers! o/

Mageia 5 Support Extension and General Update
2016-11-25T09:44:16Z via Dianara To: Public
“[...] Since Mageia 6 is being delayed, Mageia 5’s support is automatically extended in order to give users 3 months to upgrade before Mageia 5 stops receiving security updates. ”
“We will also be releasing the Mageia 5.1 ISOs very soon [...] This will allow for new systems to be installed with all the updates that Mageia 5 has received ”
“[...] Mageia 6 has not been forgotten. We had issues with the ISO building server but now that these have been resolved and progress on 5.1 is good, the next milestone release towards Mageia 6 will shortly follow the release of Mageia 5.1. [...] and Cauldron is in a very good shape with many updates and fixes, so we hope that the next milestones (stabilisation snapshot 2, release candidate(s), final) will arrive soon and close to each other. ”

It's release time! A new version of my Pump.io client for desktop systems just came out of the oven.
The most noticeable changes since v1.3.4, as illustrated in the screenshot, are:
- Items highlighted due to filtering rules will show the reason for highlighting. As visible on the left side of the screenshot, that post was highlighted due to it matching the words “Pump.io” and “Security” in the post contents or title, which I had configured as a filtering rule previously.
- After downloading an attachment, a button will appear, to open the file using the default program from the user’s desktop environment. So if a post has audio attached, after saving it, an “Open” button will appear (right side of the screenshot), and clicking it will open the file with Amarok, Qmmp, VLC, or whatever your default audio player is =)
- Added buttons to rotate images in the image viewer. Also via keyboard, with Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right, and via context menu. This is mostly for the case of images uploaded upside down, or not taken in the right direction for whatever reason. (Lower part of the screenshot)
- Some windows that used to block input (modal) to the rest of the program until they were closed, such as posts opened from the Meanwhile feed, will be independent now. You can keep them around for as long as you like, until you close the program.
Also, building Dianara with Qt 5 is officially supported now (that’s how I’ve been using it for a while). Note that your system will need a Qt 5 build of the QOAuth library, which most GNU/linux distributions don’t provide yet. Mageia 6 does, and so does openSUSE (in a separate repository). This required some changes in the buildsystem. Hopefully it will still build successfully for everyone. If it doesn’t, your QOAuth might be missing a feature file (.prf).
If your system’s language is German, you’ll also have an updated German translation, thanks to Mightyscoopa, who got the translation up to date again!

I'm trying to build Dianara with Qt5 for Windows, and practically nobody are brave enought to supply these libraries. and unfortunately, I'm searching to get it and compile it to be used for Windows-based builds using entirely Libre SDK's such MinGW and QT.>> eliotime™:

Maybe installing Qt Creator could help. I have no idea, I don't have any MSwindows machines.

The development cycle for Mageia 6 has been delayed for several reasons, but now the team has things on track for a release before the end of the year =)
Due to this delay, they'll be releasing ISOs for Mageia 5.1, a "refreshed" version of Mageia 5 with all updates applied. Also, thanks to the delay, newer versions of key software will be included, like Plasma 5.8 (which is LTS) and Gnome 3.22.
I've been using this future Mageia 6 for a while now, and it's working great over here.
Kudos, Mageia team, and thanks! \o/

I'm using Plasma 5.7.4 daily, and it's already awesome! I have to say I love it with the Oxygen themes, not with the default Breeze themes... but that's what the amazing configuration possibilities are for. One size can't fit all ;)

red hat 2.1 sep 96. later slackware and now debian. I feel old.
I had CDs for Red Hat 6.x and 7.x ... probably tossed them during my move across the pond (US to Finland). Many other distros later (mainly Ubuntu and its variations) I'm using Fedora now that I've started working for Red Hat :PI had a 5.2 CD, but never installed it. I used RH 6.1 through 8.0.Waaahhh, real memories. I remember my first 6 CDs Linux boxed set with RedHat, Slackware, Mandrake, Suse and Debian, I think the last one was for docs and sources... Back in 1995-1996's ^^
