"Why I use OMA?" Top features and qualities list

KL Kate Lebedeff Public Seen by 481

Hey members

We plan to expand our informational efforts and tell more and in more places about the work you do.
We need your view!!
What is best in OMA? Which features and qualities you like most? What attracts personally you?
Please list these! Just 3 top is enough, but sure you can list more:)
The top listed features will be our ground for new external communications.

A bit more for those, who want to feel the idea better:

(Why OpenMandriva not some other distro? We need quick and clear answer.
For some distros this is very clear:
- Ubuntu, a lot of drivers compatibility and community doc
- Mint, same features as Ubuntu plus great usability with gnome and third applications
- Fedora, last features and a lot of repositories and community doc
- Arch, last features with last updates, rolling release and biggest repository. Best official documentation, a reference for all Linux distros

Sure we have our own philosophy and different mode to take decisions, but for users we need practical things that will change they days using OMA)

This topic is open for comments for 10 days, till September 29th 17.00 CEST.

Same as Raphaël but my sensitivity would list them in a reverse order. :)
I don't have too much experience with other distro (a brief period with xubuntu) but I think the Control Center is also a great +.

  • flexibility ** smoothness *** compatibility with third party rpms like vlc, vbox, libreoffice .. (yes, I know: they are in the repos, but we can try special versions of those softwares. Example: libreoffice evolution).

  • Technical sanity -- no loads of insanity I have to shove away before developing, including: ** rpm based (can't stand building .debs) ** Qt/KDE/LXQt focused
  • Easy enough for non-technical people like my parents to use while powerful enough for developers to use -- one of the few distributions I'm happy to both use and give away
  • Flexibility
  • Fast
  • Usually among the first to adopt new technologies when the advantages outweigh the disadvantages
  • Fully open
  • Not controlled by any evil company, does what is right instead of what is expected to generate the highest numbers in this quarter.
