OpenMandriva ROME

Typically, the OpenMandriva project publishes a new stable release around once a year. This slow, steady release cycle has been pretty consistent over the past three years. However, some people appreciate a more up to date experience and OpenMandriva's development branch, Cooker, isn't intended to be stable enough for daily use. To fill in the gap and help users have the latest software the project has started a new rolling release branch called ROME. The new ROME branch will operate for OpenMandriva much the same way Tumbleweed does for openSUSE, providing a platform for users who want to keep their software up to date with upstream releases.

The ROME branch is available in KDE and GNOME editions, both of which are about 2.6GB in size. I decided to download the KDE edition. Booting from the live media brings up a boot menu where we can select a range of keyboard and language options before launching the distribution. The operating system then loads and starts a KDE Plasma session.
