OpenMandriva remains among the few Linux distributions using the LLVM Clang compiler by default where possible in place of the GCC compiler. While at times it’s difficult in maintaining this combination, they continue to find great success in using Clang as their default compiler.

OpenMandriva developer Bernhard Rosenkränzer presented at this month’s EuroLLVM conference on their use of LLVM Clang by default where nearly all Linux distributions remain with the GNU Compiler Collection.

In addition to working on OpenMandriva Lx 4.0 as this distribution’s next major release with its roots tracing back to the legendary Mandrake, its developers have also been working on clean ports of this Linux distribution to other CPU architectures.

OpenMandriva has been working on expanding its focus from just Intel x86_64 to a good experience for AMD Ryzen AMD64 and ports to AArch64 and RISC-V too. They are doing since as “other CPU architectures are starting to be fast enough” for desktop/laptop use-cases and “monopolies are harmful.”
