Mageia is a good distro, on some systems (it’s a nightmare on some systems I’ve tried it on), but if it does work it’s awesome. But deal with it; It’s nowhere even near as user-friendly as Ubuntu. More stable? Definitely (appart from Mageia refusing to use the NVidia drivers on my laptop). More popular or user friendly? Forget it.

Still, it would be awesome if Mageia ever became as easy-to-use as Ubuntu. I just don’t believe it’s going to happen in the coming 5 years.

But I didn’t even refer it here. It is easy to see that Mageia has a growing popularity, from forums, blogs and Google search. I don’t compare it with Ubuntu. But I believe Mageia has the potential to compete Ubuntu (in community use – no organizations etc) by the next two releases (1.5-2 years). Besides Mageia 2 is like their first release and it is doing great. Can you remember another distro that had such an impact within a year?

Mageia, nor LinuxMint, are anywhere near the numbers that Ubuntu has. They barely have a 20th of Ubuntu’s install base. Please stop using DistroWatch to calculate market share. You should watch the latest episode of the Linux Action Show. It’s getting old, please just stop. FYI I’m using Arch, not a fanboi.

You meant gnome? Ubuntu just uses Gnome Control Center.
