Installed and minimally tested without issues.

Don't want to mess with the hardware so I only tested getting information (e.g. driver, stats, capabilities, features). All information seems correct and matches the information returned by the previous installed version (5.0.1).

Will wait for more tests before giving the OK.


System: Mageia 7, x86_64, Intel CPU.

MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues.
This laptop normally connects wifi, so after the update I plugged in the Ethernet cable, used Network Center to disable wifi, checked ethernet was connected and refreshed browser. All OK
Fiddled a bit on the CLI, picking a few options that would do no harm.
