About OpenMandriva
OpenMandriva descends from the same Mandriva heritage as Mageia but took a different technical road. It is an association-run independent project notable for compiling its distribution with the LLVM and Clang toolchain rather than the usual GCC, and for publishing builds aimed at modern processors, including variants optimized for particular AMD CPU generations. The flagship desktop is KDE Plasma, tracked closely, with the project often quick to ship new Plasma technology. Users choose between ROME, the rolling branch, and fixed point releases, with RPM packages managed through DNF. A control center in the Mandriva tradition survives here too, and the community, though compact, is dedicated. OpenMandriva suits people who enjoy a Plasma-first system with unusual engineering choices underneath. Opening it in an OpenFactory browser VM is the quickest way to see that combination in motion without spare hardware.
All OpenMandriva releases and desktopsWhat happens when you press Try now
The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh OpenMandriva virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.
Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean OpenMandriva Rock 6.0 Plasma.
Questions about this target
Is this an official OpenMandriva image?
Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official OpenMandriva media with the Plasma desktop. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.
Do changes persist between sessions?
No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean OpenMandriva Rock 6.0 Plasma.
Can I get a customized OpenMandriva instead of the stock demo?
Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
