    Phoronix: OpenMandriva Lx 3 Alpha: Adds UEFI Support, Defaults To LXQt

    It's been a while since last hearing anything out of the OpenMandriva camp, but today they've put out the first alpha release for their "Lx 3" release that's codenamed "Einsteinium." There's quite some interesting changes with this forthcoming update...

    ntpd is a piece of art

      It's not really that good if you don't have constant connectivity to a higher tier ntp server

        LXQt? I thought that wasn't even in beta phase of development yet, I've tried to use it a couple of times, always seemed like it wasn't even half functional to me (so I just use LXDE instead)

          With the switch to LLVM, I'll be curious to see how it performs against a distro that uses the same components, but with GCC.

          Nice to see that some of my work as a translator for Calamares goes into another distrib (I'm a happy manjaro user)

            for a long time i had a really bad connection on an unreliable wifi card
            lots of dropped packages and dc-s but the time was always on the spot
            any examples ?


            idk of any other implementation with that much research behind it

                Does LXQT allow to save current session? I miss that in Unity.

                  Complications on the horizon

                  Too many big changes, I guess the upgrading process for previous users will be a real pain. Luckily I don't use anymore.

                  Is the 2nd one I see departing from KDE probably due to KDE 5 stability or dependencies. The fist one was PC-BSD but due to lack of systemd is kind of obvious. The interesting part is while Kubuntu 15.04 end up using like 700-800 MB is a lot due to mixed KDE4 and KDE5 libs, KaOS only requires around 400MB.

                  Edit: Or maybe is this http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...ne-Mess-Debian

                    LXQt uses KDE Frameworks. If dependencies by KDE were a problem, they wouldn't switch to a desktop with KF5 dependencies.
