El equipo de Mageia desea a toda la comunidad un feliz 2026 lleno de paz, felicidad y alegría.

Mageia tiene novedades para este nuevo año: una nueva versión estable y nuevos servidores. El equipo está cumpliendo con el calendario de lanzamiento de Mageia 10 anunciado anteriormente. La versión alfa aún se encuentra en fase de pruebas y esperamos poder lanzarla pronto a los usuarios. Como se indicó en la publicación anterior, esta versión ha presentado varios desafíos, pero la mayoría se están resolviendo. Esperamos con interés no solo el lanzamiento de la versión alfa, sino también una actualización después de la próxima reunión de desarrolladores.

El último kernel estable, 6.18.x, funciona a la perfección, según mi experiencia, tanto en Cauldron como en la versión retroportada a la máquina estable de Mageia 9 desde la que estoy escribiendo esto.

Como se ha comentado en publicaciones anteriores, Mageia también cuenta con nuevos servidores que facilitarán el desarrollo. Se ha trabajado en su configuración y el equipo está trabajando con el centro de datos para ajustar las conexiones de red.

Este año se celebrará una asamblea general para evaluar el año pasado y trazar el camino a seguir para 2026 y más allá. El consejo también deberá evaluar la creciente transición a Wayland, un tema que ha generado debate entre los desarrolladores, y otros cambios en el ecosistema Linux a medida que avanzamos.

¡Estén atentos para más información y que todos tengamos un año nuevo verdaderamente maravilloso!

So it is advised to run this operation separately from the system release upgrade to avoid a long lock on the RPM database and allow to control it.  We suggest to before upgrading Mageia 10, adding docker to {{file|/etc/urpmi/skip.list}} to avoid it being updated, and after successful Mageia upgrade and you are sure you have time and disk space, remove it from list and perform system update.      ===== LiveCD Tools ===== ===== LiveCD Tools ===== Bcornec

The Mageia team wishes the the whole community a happy 2026 filled with peace, happiness and joy!

Mageia has new things in store for a new year: a new stable release and new servers. The team is currently track with the release schedule for Mageia 10 announced earlier. The alpha release is still in testing and we hope to release it to users soon. As the prior post indicated, there have been a number of challenges for this release, but most are being resolved. We look forward not only to the alpha release, but to an update after the next developers’ meeting.

The latest stable kernel, 6.18.x, runs beautifully, an observation from personal experience, both in Cauldron and backported to the stable Mageia 9 machine on which I am writing this.

As has been discussed in prior posts, Mageia also has new servers that will help with development. There has been work on configuring them and the team is currently working with the data centre to tune the network connections.

Upcoming this year is a general assembly meeting to assess the past year and chart the path forward for 2026 and beyond. The council will also have to evaluate the increasing shift to Wayland – a topic that has seen some discussion among the developers — and other changes in the Linux ecosystem as we move forward.

Stay tuned for more – and may we all have a truly marvellous new year!
