MGA7-32 Xfce on Dell Inspiron 5100 No installation issues. This laptop uses old radeon graphics and an old Atheros-based wifi card. No issues here.
MGA7-64 on Dell Dimension e520 No installation issues. This desktop uses a Radeon HD 8490 graphics card and a usb Radeon rtl8192cu-based wifi dongle. No issues noted. A bit of history that some may find interesting: This wifi dongle refused to work with late Mageia 2 and all of Mageia 3. By some time in Mageia 5, it had started working, and has not stopped since. I believe the issue with the earlier Mageias was in the firmware we were providing at the time.

Kernel is still kernel-5.5.15-desktop-3 Everything still works. I do not have radeon nor use wifi on this system.
