Updated: 04/26/2017 by Computer Hope
Mageia Linux is a Linux variant released in 2010 as a fork of Mandriva Linux. It allows use with any desktop environment, although it is most commonly used with KDE (K Desktop Environment). Unlike other Linux variants, it uses MariaDB for its default database rather than Oracle MySQL. Updates are released for Mageia on a schedule of once every nine months.
