Always had a soft spot for Mageia, as I thought their Admin panel was an improvement compared to SUSE's.

But unfortunately I think they are slowly dying. Their forum is a ghost town, and besides their Admin panel, there isn't anything compelling about Mageia that would make me consider it over other options.

Because of the Redhat incident, I started to see people asking for community-based distros without a corporate that dominates the community. And, Mageia is one of them. So, I hope it will be more popular.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
