Mageia 5 is a distribution that many people where waiting for. Initially scheduled for November 2014, it was finally released on the
19th of June 2015.
Let's have a look at this distribution with a quick screenshot tour. This is not intended to be a full-scale review, just a quick glance.
Boot sequence of
Mageia 5 is not different to several
previous versions, and it is inherited from
Mandriva. Once booted, you get to the default desktop with deep-blue wallpaper and welcome window on it.

Keyboard layout configuration in
Mageia 5 KDE is standard for KDE4. The only thing that I must note there is that window size is not properly aligned to the content. Layout configuration is actually not the only place where you can notice that.

Mageia 5 KDE comes with VLC multimedia player. It means that you can listen to music or watch videos straight out of the box.
As for flash videos, there is a difficult situation. You can watch videos directly on YouTube, but not in embedded pages.

Kscreenshot is a standard screenshot tool in
Mageia 5 KDE. It would be much more difficult to prepare this post without it. Other than that, distribution includes Gwenview, GIMP and some other tools for work with graphics.

What else? You probably need to download
Mageia 5 KDE yourself and check. If you cannot prepare a disk yourself, then why not use a service from
BuyLinuxCDs.co.uk?
