OpenMandriva Lx is a Linux distribution published by a non-profit association named OpenMandriva. It is originally based on Mandriva Linux.

History[edit]

Origin of the distribution[edit]

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.[3][4] The first stable version (OpenMandriva Lx 2013 "Oxygen") was released in late 2013.[5][6]

OpenMandriva Association[edit]

The OpenMandriva Association was established on December 12, 2012 under 1901 French law. It oversees representation of the OpenMandriva Community, a worldwide community of people who are passionate about free software and provide leadership to the creation and dissemination of free code and collaborative content.[7] It manages free software projects including OpenMandriva Lx.

OpenMandriva Lx development environment[edit]

OpenMandriva Lx's development environment is an ABF (Automated Build Farm) which can manage the source codes, compile it to binaries. Also creates the package repository and ISO images.[8][9]

Versions[edit]

In late 2013, the first version of OpenMandriva Lx was released. It was based on Mandriva Linux 2011, which was itself an amalgamation of ROSA Linux and Mandriva SA.[10][11][12][13]

OpenMandriva Lx 2014 "Phosphorus" was released on 1 May 2014.[14][15][16][17] The release had a very positive review from one of the founders of the initial Mandrake Linux distribution, Gaël Duval.[18]

OpenMandriva Lx 2014.2, codenamed "The Scion", a bugfix release for 2014.1, was released on 29 June 2015.[19][20][21][22][23]

In 2015 year, OpenMandriva released a alpha version of OpenMandriva Lx 2015. As the operating system was developed all 2015 year, in 2016, the version was released as OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 Beta.[24] This new release came with significant changes to the core system — among other things, it was the first desktop Linux distribution that was built completely with the Clang compiler instead of GCC.[25]

A stable and final release of OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 was released in August 2016,[26][27] followed by 3.01 in December 2016[28][29] and 3.02 in June 2017.[30]
