OpenMandriva ROME 26.09 Released - OpenMandriva
It has been quite some time since the last ROME release — our rolling-release edition.
Since then, we have faced a number of challenges, including a lack of time, an attempted sabotage aimed at damaging our distribution, and numerous technical problems. However, we hope that these difficulties are now behind us and that we have emerged from them stronger. We apologize to our loyal users for the inconvenience and promise a more regular release cycle in the future.
While users of our rolling-release edition have been able to enjoy the latest updates for some time, it is only today, after extensive testing, that we have decided to release refreshed installation images.
