It may also help to choose which desktop environment to use. Cinnamon is a fork of GNOME 3 that aims to provide a traditional desktop environment using modern technologies.

After the first reboot following the installation, your desktop looks like the screenshot below. To display the menu, click on the Mageia icon at the bottom left (marker 6). The green marks are for Mageia tools and the red ones for Cinnamon tools.
