OpenMandriva is a sensible operating system that's not based on the top four most popular Linux distros, but just as easy to use.

It's rare to find a Linux distribution that's not based on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, or Arch. That's not to say they don't exist, but they are hard to find.

One such distribution is OpenMandriva (officially, OpenMandriva Lx), which is a community version of the once-heralded Mandriva (which was based on the long-since-dead Mandrake Linux). Mandrake was a very special take on Linux because it had one very important goal: make Linux easy to use for all.
