So I can't really comment on it, but have heard it's an excellent alternative to debian-based and ubuntu-based distros
Me, too. At first I thought I'll never be able to use Mageia on USB. Run this command, it works for me:
Code:
dd oflag=direct bs=1M if=mageiaiso.iso of=/dev/sdX
Where sdX is your USB flash device.
If you use Windows, you could use a program called Win32DiskImager.
