Thanks to your comment David, I will not form my opinion from just this review and will look for more.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992849027111140811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588545826792134046.post-87170110730554726662016-02-16T03:31:20.334-08:002016-02-16T03:31:20.334-08:00Hi Saravanan,

I have TPLink TL-WN823N does not work out of the box which uses the rtl8192cu chipset. The realtek chipsets have a bug and hence the issue.<br /><br />After some trial and error, I got it working. Check the forum thread https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9956 in order to configure your Wifi Adapter with Mageia.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Balaji.Balaji Neelakantanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540703470334657960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588545826792134046.post-72787574720851972172015-09-11T12:48:50.885-07:002015-09-11T12:48:50.885-07:00Maybe we have a new worst reviewer. Seriously, th...Maybe we have a new worst reviewer. Seriously, this is the most poorly done review I've read in a long time.<br /><br />You claimed to have reviewed the "Installer" when you didn't actually use it at all. The classical DVD has the installer, but you used the Live instead. Why use the Live and complain that it doesn't act like a classical installer when there *is* another ISO with a classical installer? The purpose of a Live is to let you sample it and possible dump it onto your hard drive as-is. Use the actually installer if you want more customization. Also, the Live doesn't have the mail client for space reasons, but the classical installer does install it.<br /><br />Why do you act like having sudo is mandatory? It's not. This isn't Ubuntu. sudo is optional and it's easy to install if you want to use it. Using su instead is just fine. Each has its disadvantages and advantages, but you still can make your own choice.<br /><br />As you point out, KDE is highly customizable and easy to change. Many people like Mageia's default look, and you don't, which is fine, but your over-the-top criticism based on this is baseless and misguided. Everyone has their own preference of whether they think Mageia, Mint, or OpenSuSE looks better by default, but they can also be changed however you want. Also, saying "this looks like it's from 2007" or "from the 90's" or whatever as people sometimes do is meaningless and childish.<br /><br />You also faulted Mageia for your total lack of understanding of the package management tools and the fact that you were too lazy to spend 2 minutes figuring out how to use them properly (and yet you call Mageia lazy). urpmf does exactly what it's supposed to do, search for *files* in packages (hence the f). urpmq searches package names.<br /><br />If you want to hate Mageia for reasons that are the fault of your own ignorance or laziness, that's fine, but spreading your hatred on your blog just makes you look like a fool and does a disservice to anyone reading this.David Walserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795388184466832705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588545826792134046.post-72212630597374359442015-08-26T03:37:20.728-07:002015-08-26T03:37:20.728-07:00I tried mageia 5 gnome.

Next time, base your review on something a bit more substantial than snap judgements and the live dvd which isn't meant to be the primary installation medium anyway.
