Check it out. +What started as a fork of [Mandriva Linux][1], now has grown into a fully-fledged [independent Linux distro][2]. + +Started back in 2010, Mageia has come a long way since. It is now a stable and secure operating system for desktop/server use that gets regular updates. + +With a recent announcement, Mageia 9 was introduced with plenty of key improvements. + +Allow me to take you through those. + +## 🆕 Mageia 9: What's New? + +Powered by the recently released [Linux Kernel 6.4][3], Mageia 9 offers a plethora of improvements over its predecessor. + +Some key highlights include: + + * **Better Kernel and Hardware Support** + * **Updated Software Suite** + * **Desktop Environment Upgrades** + + + +### Better Kernel and Hardware Support + +Thanks to Linux Kernel 6.4, Mageia 9 is equipped with **[Mesa 3D 23.1][4]** , that has resulted in better graphics support than ever before. + +In the case of hardware, **Mageia 9 uses free video drivers for AMD/ATI graphics cards, AMDGPU** , to support both newer and older cards. But, proprietary drivers don't seem to work with this release. + +Similarly, **in the case of Nvidia** , the performance of the Xorg Nouveau driver has been enhanced compared to Mageia 8, and proprietary Nvidia drivers are provided via the non-free repositories. + +This has allowed for supporting both, older, and newer Nvidia GPUs. + +Furthermore, Mageia 9 is offered with **X.Org 21.1.8** and **XWayland 22.1.9,** they have been split from Xserver for easier maintenance. + +### Updated Software Suite + +Mageia 9 features an extensive suite of applications, that have been updated to newer versions. + +Some include: + + * **[LibreOffice 7.5][5]** + * **Blender 3.3.4** + * **VirtualBox 7.0.10** + * **NeoVim 0.9.1** + * **Xen 4.17.0** + * **Ruby 3.1.4** + * **QEmu 7.2** + * **RPM 4.18** + * **Vim 9.0** + * **PHP 8.2** + + + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +### Desktop Environment Upgrades + +First things first, as Mageia's default desktop is KDE Plasma, we start with that. + +Mageia 9 features **KDE Plasma 5.27.5** , that has been built on top of **Qt 5.15.7** , **KDE Frameworks 5.105** , and **KDE Applications 23.04.1**. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +Then, for **GNOME edition** , Mageia 9 features **GNOME 44.2** , that now defaults to running Wayland on boot with an alternative “GNOME on Xorg” session available. + +**In the case of Xfce** , Mageia 9 features [**Xfce 4.18**][6], that now has dedicated 32-bit/64-bit Live DVDs. + +And finally, to sum it up, we have **MATE 1.26.0** , **Cinnamon 5.6** , and **LXQt 1.3.0** as other variants being offered with Mageia 9. + +### 🛠️ Other Technical Changes + +To conclude, here are some other changes that are worth mentioning: + + * Support for both PulseAudio and PipeWire sound servers. + * Lower install footprint if disabling the recommended packages. + * The RPM database now uses SQLite instead of Berkeley DB. + * Major performance improvements for [Nvidia Optimus][7] laptops. + + + +You may go through the [release notes][8] to know more about this release. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +## 📥 Download Mageia 9 + +Mageia 9 is available for download right now, head over to the [official website][9] to get started. + +[Mageia 9][9] + +**For existing users:** You can follow the official [handy guide][10] to upgrade. + +_💬 What do you think about the new changes?
