So far on Mageia…

Ok, yes I know I’m writing this in Windows. But Mageia is still installed. And I’ve already made further progress this time than I’ve ever had with OpenSuSE on this tower. I’ve already configured Firefox and Thunderbird. And I’ve even set up my primary adblocker: the HOSTS file from mvps.org.

The potential issues that I see from this setup are the TV tuner (and that’s a moot point right now, since my Tuner Card doesn’t have a signal coming to it), and the ability to play a Blu-ray. But I can Netflix on it.

There is a drawback: I’ve set the bootloader to boot windows by default, but when I boot into Linux, it resets the default back to Linux. Until I find a fix for it, I guess I have to watch the menu when turn my computer on.
