Its release was delayed due to some grave problems which we wanted to fix, and we did. What I suggest is that you try upgrading to mageia 6 (after doing a backup) and see if it is working well enough for you, and if not - possibly try a fresh install and only then make a switch. > I definitely want to stay with KDE (never liked Gnome) and I really > like how configurable Mageia is. > > I don't think this should be an issue, but my computer is fairly old (a > 4 year old i5 Haswell CPU with 8 Gb). > > I've been thinking about Mint, Kubuntu or Fedora - any thoughts (or > additional options)? > I use fedora 27 on my laptop and it is nice (but not perfect). One thing I dislike about ubuntu is the weird politically correctness they have on their IRC channels. Regarding mint there is https://www.facebook.com/groups/826292814153064/permalink/1497333690382303/ . Debian is another option to consider, and it has many derivatives.
