“What's awesome about Mageia compared to Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu or Fedora?”

Hard to make a reasonable comparison to all of those, but what I think makes it awesome in general is that it's community-based, like Debian, but really targeting novice users.

One could say Ubuntu does that, but Ubuntu is not really community-based, and Mageia's roots targeting newcomers come from way before that, and even today has some novice-oriented tools that others lack. Sadly it doesn't have the same popularity (and therefore, resources).
