I just wanted to report that Open Mandriva is working now 100% on Rock 5 and presumably Rome. Hopefully, these things will get rolled into the next release, and then things will just work out of the box, but honestly the only issue I have had is the fingerprint scanner.
I really love this distro and I just am thrilled that it is working on my 13s (11th, 12th, and 13th). Was never a fan of KDE or dnf, but after giving them a go, I really have taken a liking to both. Particularly when it comes to packaging an application up. RPM is so much easier than debs. Still I grew up on apt and debs. They are home.
Anyway, if you have any issues on it, post here, and we’ll see about getting it working.

A little follow up but you will want to make sure to use s2idle deep with Framework mainboards as well. S0 (s2idle) will work but it doesn’t always turn off the fan and uses a lot of power. Deep works quite well and the system is absolutely off with power kept in the RAM.
You can use this command to check what suspend state you are using:
cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
However if you want to switch to deep if you are not already there you can use this command:
sudo echo deep > /sys/power/mem_sleep
This will make your current session use that. To make this permanent do the following:
Edit grub and add:
mem_sleep_default=deep
to your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT similar to something like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash mem_sleep_default=deep”
Save and exit the file. You will need to about GRUB by using the following command:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Afterwhich you can reboot but if you already echoed this change earlier to your system you don’t need to reboot just now. Your system is already using deep and now when you reboot it will continue to use it.
