Mageia Linux 10 RC1 is now available!

The team behind Mageia Linux has released Mageia 10 RC1 a few days ago days before the official announcement. This version is a release candidate version of an upcoming release of this Linux distribution, and is primarily intended for developers, testers, and power users who like to test new versions earlier before everyone else.

The official announcement has been posted today, with the hint that the Mageia artwork for this upcoming release has been finalized. This was after the artwork contest has been finished and the winner was announced. You can now see the new wallpaper in the linked blog post.

Alongside the artwork that has been changed for the final release, the new screensavers have been added, and the Mageia team said that those screensavers were really nice. This is a promising change that helps shape the bright future of Mageia Linux.
