Celestial writes:

Mageia 5 was finally released, after over a year in development. The biggest change is added support for UEFI, while other major changes include updating the Linux kernel to 3.19.8 and X.org to 1.16.4. Mageia is a five year-old fork of Mandriva formed by a group of Mandriva's former developers, and is known for the same user friendliness and polish. For those interested in the specifics of Mageia 5, you can check out the release notes here.

    Why did they fork Mandriva? Is this fork free from systemd?

    And does UEFI allows Mageia to be loaded?
    Signed bootkeys and whatnot..
