After many months of hard work, the upcoming Mageia 10 Linux distribution now has its first alpha release available for public testing if you want to help the devs fix bugs before the final release hits the streets.

Mageia 10 is planned for release in April 2026, which will mark exactly three years from the release of Mageia 9. It’s powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.12 LTS kernel series and ships with the KDE Plasma 6.5, GNOME 49, and Xfce 4.20 desktop environments.
