OpenMandriva Lx 23.01: A Breath of Fresh Air for Distro Hoppers
OpenMandriva is changing course by introducing the ROME rolling release, which makes its debut in OpenMandriva Lx 23.01.
OpenMandriva is a community-centric Linux distro forked from discontinued Mandriva Linux with roots in then-legendary Mandrake Linux. It was created in May 2012 by OpenMandriva Association as the distro aimed at experienced and first-time Linux users.
One essential aspect of OpenMandriva is that it is one of the so-called original distributions. In other words, it is not based on another existing one. The distro is designed to be easy to use and to provide a wide range of software and features to meet the needs of a variety of users.

OpenMandriva’s Rolling Release, ROME: Mostly Ready for Prime Time
On Friday, OpenMandriva announced that ROME 23.01, the Linux distribution’s rolling release version, has been released and is ready to stand beside its conventionally released Rock edition. Being a rolling release, as long as users keep up with updates they will have the most up-to-date version of the operating system available. Users of Rock, on the other hand, will need to wait for the next point release to have all of the features added since the last release.

Introducing OpenMandriva Lx ROME: The Rolling-Release Edition of OpenMandriva Linux - LinuxWizardry
The OpenMandriva team has announced the general availability of OpenMandriva Lx ROME, their rolling-release edition of this independently developed GNU/Linux distribution descendant from Mandriva Linux. This distribution is aimed at bleeding-edge users who want to have the latest and greatest GNU/Linux technologies without upgrading or reinstalling.
OpenMandriva Lx ROME is a unique and independent distribution, not based on any other Linux distribution. A direct descendant of Mandriva Linux, it was the first Linux distribution to utilize the LLVM compiler. This release continues to use the entire LLVM toolchain, which completes the work that began in 2015, even before Android switched its compilers.
Powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.1 kernel series (Clang-compiled, of course), OpenMandriva’s rolling-release edition is available in two spins featuring the popular KDE Plasma and GNOME desktop environments. The Plasma spin comes with the KDE Plasma 5.26.4 desktop environment, which is accompanied by the KDE Frameworks 5.101 and KDE Gear 22.12 software suites, modified to handle the new JPEG-XL file format. On the other hand, the GNOME spin features the latest GNOME 43.2 desktop environment on top of Wayland.
