ROSA, A Nice KDE4 Distro in 2019

(ROSA R10 with KDE4 desktop running in 2019)

While Ubuntu doesn't have KDE4 anymore, a Mandriva-based GNU/Linux distro named ROSA from Russia continued to ship KDE4 even in 2019. It is ROSA Desktop Fresh R10 released in 2017 and supported until 2020. ROSA is one among three splits of Mandriva, other two are OpenMandriva and Mageia, happened right after 2011. We cannot run KDE4 anymore on Ubuntu today, but we can still run it on ROSA and get support. This article briefly highlights ROSA R10 for you.

A distro which stood apart and worked beautifully for me was Mandriva (known as Mandrake Linux that time).
