Quick translation:
After a big crash of my Kubuntu 14.04, I decided to give a chance to
the latest OpenMandriva beta . You know without doubt that I love
distributions based on Mandrake/Mandriva and I said and wrote many
good things about Mageia . What could I say after an initial rapid use
of OpenMandriva? Well, I did not think that having such a fluid and
fast Linux system was possible! I did not think any more than we could
have a so good integration of KDE! In fact there is a little
"Gnome-ish" stuff inside, even "Windows 8 Metro-ish" ... The button at
the bottom left will open this great dark panel with favorite
applications. From here you can access the file navigator. It is also
possible to list the applications with the tabs above. Obviously the
conventional use of the office is still possible, we are on KDE.
A point of interest is that by default, a lot of KDE crap is not
included, which makes the system very fast. Reading the OpenMandriva
blog, I see that there is a specific kernel version, optimized for
faster boot. Indeed, in 10 seconds I'm on my Linux desktop even though
I'm using hard drive tray. My Kubuntu well took 1 minutes to be
usable, there in less than 10 seconds I'm on KDM. With an SSD it must
be fantastic. This is a beta version, all is not rosy either, but
after this little discovery, I truly believe in the potential of this
distribution , which aims to be more than that in reality.
If all goes well , I will write an article because I'm very excited
right now :)

That's good to see! (2349 have Yannick in circles) Thanks to all who
work to make this happen.
