Hi Michael,
Yes, that looks like a valid comment. I had never
heard of Mageia
until you popped up on this mail list. Reading through your posts, it
seems that
you are almost a lone star. I am also using a small Linux distro,
MX-Linux. It is a
development from Mepis and antiX, based upon Debian stable, and run by a
group of enthusiastic volunteers. One advantage that I am enjoying,
is that we
have a (small) packaging team who have put Lyx 2.2 into a single
package for users
to download. From this, I have added a few extra Texlive units,
mainly for some
experimentation, but the 2.2 package was downloaded and installed in
less than
five minutes and is managing a technical documentation project very well.
Best wishes,
Gordon.

Hello Gordon,
I worked with openSUSE for many years and eventually upgraded from 13.x
to openSUSE Leap 42.1.
I got what you can call a disaster or if there was an even stronger word
you might use that.I asked around and somebody came up with a few distro
names and I started trying three of them. Mageia5 got the fall of the
hammer after testing it for a week or so.
It run smoothly and after almost half a year I have nothing to complain,
no regrets, just compliments.
It may well be that Mageia is more difficult when it comes to doings
things like I am doing now. But then I got to know that other distros
show similar obstacles.
And - most important - we can get great support from various lists. Look
for instance at the persons who helped me in this texlive2016 challenge
and never got tired of answering my (sometimes silly) questions over and
over again.
I am deeply grateful to all of them.
Thanks for your comment and cheers!
Michael
