This is my last post of the year.
In summary, I can say that my experience with Linux during 2019 has been extremely satisfactory. I mean, my computers have been working great and the distros have been more stable than ever.
This is not to imply that I have not encountered problems along the way. Mageia 7 has been showing me strange updates that, when I have succumbed to the temptation of installing them, my system has lost functionality (for my particular purposes, that is). Those two notorious problems are the mesa update, which wants to remove Steam, and the WINE update, which has rendered the few Windows programs I still keep unusable. I tried the instructions here to fix issue, but to no avail. Using DNF, I have seen that Mageia 7 does not seem to be connecting to the mirrors.
So I guess I will use Steam in Mageia and WINE in PCLinuxOS for the time being.
I can always resort to OpenMandriva LX 4 if I want to use both Steam and Wine.
----------------------
UPDATE:
I could finally enable Wine in Mageia. I did it with konsole, using these commands as root:
urpmi.update --no-ignore "Core 32bit Release"
urpmi.update --no-ignore "Core 32bit Updates"
to make sure that the i586 repos are enabled to retrieve the i586 dependencies and then
dnf install --allowerasing wine
this allows dnf to erase the newer packages that were conflicting with Wine.
-----------------------------------
Fedora keeps eating the /root space avidly every time there is an update.
A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx ROME 5.0, Mageia 9, MX 19, Manjaro 23.1, and Elive 3.
