Highlights of Mageia 6 include the KDE Plasma 5.8.7 LTS desktop environment, Red Hat's DNF package manager as an alternative to Mandriva's old urpmi package management tool, allowing users to install packages from third-party repos like Fedora COPR or openSUSE Build Service.
GRUB2 is now the default bootloader implementation in Mageia 6, which is powered by a kernel from the long-term supported Linux 4.9 series, specifically version 4.9.35, and comes with a modern graphics stack using the Mesa 17.1.4 3D Graphics Library, as well as both X.Org Server 1.19.3 and Wayland 1.11.0 display servers.
