    Whoa. TIL!

    I thought Mandrake/Mandriva died over a decade ago, I had no idea it was still kicking around!

    Wow. That name brought some memories

    Looking at wiki

    a rolling release
    Initial release November 22, 2013

    So it seems it’s rather mature distro and since it’s rolling release, it should be rather up-to-date, without reinstalling every half a year

    I’m not sure where to browse the official package list, but loooking at pkgs.org:

    • Lx 5.0 looks outdated. Wine version on it is 8.20 (current stable release is 9.22)
    • Rolling, on the other hand, might be too on the edge. It has wine 10, which is release-candidate, not stable yet

    But maybe I’m missing something in how the distro manages versions

    The rolling one is definitely worth trying, IMO
