Xenmaster Approved Linux and BSD

A short and sweet list of the linux and BSD distros I use on a day to day basis, including how I use them and what I like and don't like about them. I've been using non-Windows/Mac operating systems now for about 12 years . I'm not a power user who lives in the terminal using a tiling window manager using arch btw as a daily driver, but I do know my way about the commandline and have tinkered with a homelab for 5 years now. For all distros I am currently using, I make sure to add caveats for things to look out for as a new user. Definitely not meant to discourage folks, just stuff to keep in mind so expectations are clear. I also include a list of items I am looking into using in the future and those I've either tried and passed on or those which I've used before and have replaced. Hopefully someone finds this list useful!

What is Mandriva Linux?

Mandriva Linux is a French Linux distribution . Was launched in 1998 under the name of Mandrake Linux, with the goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone. At that time, Linux was already well-known as a powerful and stable operating system that demanded strong technical knowledge and extensive use of the command line; MandrakeSoft saw this as an opportunity to integrate the best graphical desktop environments and contribute its own graphical configuration utilities to quickly become famous for setting the standard in Linux ease of use. In February 2005, MandrakeSoft merged with Brazils Conectiva to form Mandriva S.A., with headquarters in Paris, France. The companys flagship product, Mandriva Linux, offers all the power and stability of Linux to both individuals and professional users in an easy-to-use and pleasant environment.
