Before we delve into the new updates of the Mageia 6 Sta2 release, we’d like to tell you that the big news. Starting with this development build, you can now download a 32-bit variant of the OS with the lightweight Xfce desktop environment if you want to install Mageia 6 on computers from 10 years ago. Among the goodies that have been implemented in the Mageia 6 Sta2 development release, we can mention that latest long-term supported Linux 4.9.13 kernel and X.Org Server 1.19.1 display server, along with the KDE Plasma 5.8.5 LTS, GNOME 3.22.2, Xfce 4.12.1, Cinnamon 3.2.4, and MATE 1.16 desktop environments.
