I installed Sparky Linux 7 on my backup laptop computer because I failed to install Debian.

Like Thinkpad, the main brand is Lenovo. Thinkbook keyboard is like Acer and other brands.

I’m using Lenovo ThinkBook, which is cheaper than Thinkpad, and the keyboard layout is different. It supports upto 40GB of RAM.

RK3588 is used in many Linux devices, but I’m not sure if Rockchip is in the BDS list. I don’t know which factory was RK3588 from.

I heard that Linux gets new patches for Loongson, but I didn’t try it yet.

Yes, it is stable.

Because of the Redhat incident, I started to see people asking for community-based distros without a corporate that dominates the community. And, Mageia is one of them. So, I hope it will be more popular.

• KDE is the default. So, for KDE users, Mageia with KDE was tested.
• Mageia comes with Drake tools for configuring almost everything. IMO *drakes look quite friendly. Since they have been around for 20+ years, they must be stable.
• Each release will be supported for 18 months, which is longer than Fedora.
