The provided library versions from Mageia are to new for the Fedora 28 repo. But even with the Fedora 34 repo there are some conflicts because the Fedora package naming scheme differs to Mageias ones. You could only try to build it from source...but i don't believe it will work...

Out of couriosity: Is there a big difference between Miktex and TexLive (which is in our Mageia 8 repos)? I don't use such kind of software so i'm not familiar with it...

Thank you very much for your answer.
I used Texstudio on Mageia 7 and it requires miktex.
I will try to use TexLive and see if it is ok for me.
Thank you again!
