It has been 10 years, since I've been using Linux as my productive, daily operating system from early 2007. I have tried many Linux distros, but my first distro was Mandriva One 2007. At the time, Mandriva Linux was a star among Desktop Linux distributions. It was beautiful, very easy to use, and the most important thing was : it supported restricted multimedia formats by default. I was very sad when I heard Mandriva is finally discontinued in 2010. You never forget anything, anyone or any brand you have used for the first time. Mandriva is like my first, gorgeous, lovely girlfriend that I would never forget forever. Community Reborn In 2012, Mandriva community continued to maintain Mandriva Linux and rebranded it as 'OpenMandriva Lx'. Later, the community released OpenMandriva Lx 2013. Until now, OpenMandriva Lx is recognized as the official continuation of the Mandriva Linux. There are also another forks of Mandriva Linux : PCLinuxOS, Mageia, anda ROSA Linux.
