I wish you would include Synaptic package manager to your distro! Apper does NOT work. And Drake is next to useless! You can get Apper to show a list of system apps/files Synaptic style but when you try to install nothing happens and to click on other "groups" NOTHING HAPPENS!! Synaptic doesn't have the pretty group icons but at least you could find the files you were looking for!! This is also the 21st century!! We should not have to type in cryptic commands at the command prompt to do the job that graphical Synaptic does just as well and faster! If going to the command prompt gives you a testosterone boost, great, but some of us aren't concerned about that. If you can't remember what the file or program is called the full alphabetical list in Synaptic is fantastic! Neither Drake or Apper appear to handle dependencies any better or perhaps as well as Synaptic. Just because they are newer does not mean that they are more capable. Other Mandriva forks have Synaptic so there is no reason it can't be used. Maybe Drake might be more newbie friendly than Synaptic for package management and updating but that is no reason to not offer it for those who like its capabilities! It has to be one of the oldest most tested reliable package managers there is. Some of us prefer function over looks! The problems with the graphical package manager back in Ubuntu 10 were the catalyst to find something better and to date Synaptic is the most consistently reliable package manager I have found! Some of us aren't interested in "Diet" or Lite" we want the full meal deal!! When trying out a distro, the first thing I look at is package management! If that is a frustrating pain, doesn't work, or is command line only, I go elsewhere because in 2015 there is NO REASON for that!! I don't care how polished the desktop is or how snappy it performs. If it is a pain in the butt to use, it is not worth it! I really like the "Mandriva" OS and your Mageia 5 appears to be a very stable and capable modern distro. Package management is the only significant negative issue I have encountered. Libre Office Manager is also a really useful tool to keep LibreOffice up to date! It would be nice to find that in your repositories! Current for LibreOffice is 5.0.3 while your repositories are still back at 4.4.6! It should take very little effort to add these two programs to your repositories! For someone who uses LibreOffice on a number of computers it is a bit of an issue. It is nice to have the same software versions on all your computers!
