Im typing on the Mageia 7 live rc release and its very nice. It defaults to proprietary drivers still but its using KDE 5.15.4 and the 5.1.5 kernel.
Nice selection of software installed, Mageia help center greets you initially and they kept the Mageia control center which I very much like.

Very responsive even though it took awhile to get into the session. The size of the iso is around 2.8gb which I think is a bit big otherwise no issues.
Did not auto install my printer which is odd as most distros now do that but no problems with wifi or ethernet connection.

Will probably wait for the final, but so far I like Mageia better than OpenMandriva but I still need to play with it a bit more.

So far no issues and runs very well. For those of you who do like the original look of Mageia youll enjoy this version. No driver issues so far but be sure to pick the non-proprietary drivers if you need them,as the the proprietary drivers are installed by default.
