OpenMandriva Lx 3.01 is the first maintenance update to the Lx 3 stable series, bringing us all the latest and greatest KDE technologies and Open Source software projects. The biggest change being the rebased of the operating system on the recently released Linux 4.9 kernel, which was injected with BFQ as default CPU scheduler. Rebased on the KDE Plasma 5.8.4 LTS desktop environment, OpenMandriva Lx 3.01 ships with the KDE Applications 16.08.3 software suite, Qt 5.6.2 framework, and KDE Frameworks 5.29.0 collection of add-on libraries for Qt 5. The Wayland 1.12.0 display server is also available and the OS uses the systemd 232 init system.
