شوية اراء عن التوزيعة
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1j1o3sr/openmandriva_opinions/I've used OpenMandriva in the past (like 8 months ago). It's alright, and it's pretty polished, and I liked the slight speed improvement with the AMD Zen CPU-specific builds. But my main problem was it always lacked packages that are standard on other popular distros; guess not much can be done because it's a manpower issue.
The other problem I experienced was with their ROME spin, which uses a semi-rolling-release model (Cooker is their experiment rolling-release). I tried installing ROME 4 months apart, and each time system I'd run into errors and could not properly update my system, so I was stuck with what came on the ISO.
OpenMandriva ROCK (AKA, the fixed-release spin) worked fine however, but it was too out-dated for my needs.

I played around with it recently to see how it is coming along. It is a very nice distribution with solid support despite being a smaller community. The dev team is quite active and willing to help.
Being rolling is nice as you never have to worry about big version updates. Not to get too technical, they have built some different methods to build the distro, and it works quite well. The updates during my 1-month test were well done and without any issue.
The only negatives were the relatively small community and fewer packages. Being more of a niche distro. However, as mentioned, they are active.

I mainly run Fedora and EndeavourOS, but love to test distros. As mentioned, I tested for a month, and it was stable during that period, but in the grand scheme, that is not a long time to know how stable it really is. From what I have read, it is stable, however I don't think it would be accurate for me to say one way or the other based on just a month worth of testing.

I don't like it.
The "Rock" fixed release edition comes with frozen package versions without much effort done to backport security fixes, they don't even update browsers (Firefox is stil at version 120 in Rock 5.0), which makes it unusable to me as well as anyone decently concerned about their system's security. I'd much rather use Debian instead.
Meanwhile, the "Rome" rolling release is annoying to manage, before any time you want to update the system you need to check their forum (
https://forum.openmandriva.org/t/rome-major-upgrade-expected/4707) whether they're currently syncing the package servers or whether there's some manual intervention needed. I'd much rather use Void Linux instead.
It does have a few interesting features of its own (like being built entirely with Clang) but they aren't of much interest to me, and certainly not worth the downsides.
