Mageia 9 Released With Linux Kernel 6.4 and PulseAudio Support
======
Mageia's next big release is here. Check it out.
What started as a fork of [Mandriva Linux][1], now has grown into a fully-fledged [independent Linux distro][2].
Started back in 2010, Mageia has come a long way since. It is now a stable and secure operating system for desktop/server use that gets regular updates.
With a recent announcement, Mageia 9 was introduced with plenty of key improvements.
Allow me to take you through those.
## 🆕 Mageia 9: What's New?
Powered by the recently released [Linux Kernel 6.4][3], Mageia 9 offers a plethora of improvements over its predecessor.
Some key highlights include:
* **Better Kernel and Hardware Support**
* **Updated Software Suite**
* **Desktop Environment Upgrades**
### Better Kernel and Hardware Support
Thanks to Linux Kernel 6.4, Mageia 9 is equipped with **[Mesa 3D 23.1][4]** , that has resulted in better graphics support than ever before.
In the case of hardware, **Mageia 9 uses free video drivers for AMD/ATI graphics cards, AMDGPU** , to support both newer and older cards. But, proprietary drivers don't seem to work with this release.
Similarly, **in the case of Nvidia** , the performance of the Xorg Nouveau driver has been enhanced compared to Mageia 8, and proprietary Nvidia drivers are provided via the non-free repositories.
This has allowed for supporting both, older, and newer Nvidia GPUs.
Furthermore, Mageia 9 is offered with **X.Org 21.1.8** and **XWayland 22.1.9,** they have been split from Xserver for easier maintenance.
### Updated Software Suite
Mageia 9 features an extensive suite of applications, that have been updated to newer versions.
Some include:
* **[LibreOffice 7.5][5]**
* **Blender 3.3.4**
* **VirtualBox 7.0.10**
* **NeoVim 0.9.1**
* **Xen 4.17.0**
* **Ruby 3.1.4**
* **QEmu 7.2**
* **RPM 4.18**
* **Vim 9.0**
* **PHP 8.2**
**Suggested Read** 📖
### Desktop Environment Upgrades
First things first, as Mageia's default desktop is KDE Plasma, we start with that.
Mageia 9 features **KDE Plasma 5.27.5** , that has been built on top of **Qt 5.15.7** , **KDE Frameworks 5.105** , and **KDE Applications 23.04.1**.
**Suggested Read** 📖
Then, for **GNOME edition** , Mageia 9 features **GNOME 44.2** , that now defaults to running Wayland on boot with an alternative “GNOME on Xorg” session available.
**In the case of Xfce** , Mageia 9 features [**Xfce 4.18**][6], that now has dedicated 32-bit/64-bit Live DVDs.
And finally, to sum it up, we have **MATE 1.26.0** , **Cinnamon 5.6** , and **LXQt 1.3.0** as other variants being offered with Mageia 9.
### 🛠️ Other Technical Changes
To conclude, here are some other changes that are worth mentioning:
* Support for both PulseAudio and PipeWire sound servers.
* Lower install footprint if disabling the recommended packages.
* The RPM database now uses SQLite instead of Berkeley DB.
* Major performance improvements for [Nvidia Optimus][7] laptops.
