Mageia 9?
 

Any word on Mageia 9? I tried 8 and had some hardware issues with the kernels, on System 76 hardware, so I am looking forward to Mageia 9, especially if it comes with the 6.1 kernel. That would work great on my Galago Pro with the 12th gen Intel i5 processor.

It's in testing: https://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/prerelease/

I am looking forward to it.

I also wonder what will be the default kernel 6.0 or 6.1? I am hoping for 6.1 since it will run better on my Galago Pro.

6.1 will be the default in mga9.

Mageia 8 is already at 6.1.6 in the backport repo, so you can try that already :)
And 6.1.11 in backports_testing.

Last year it took ages to be ready when it was'nt ready.
