Sadly, a second Mageia install fail. I realize when I want the Linux on the internal drive, I might have to do it there, to see how it actually turns out.
Despite being now a new USB-3 stick, and sound is indeed working leaving out an actualization of Mageia, but now it's peskier about asking to do actualizations than windows. And did start with it when first connecting to the internet without being asked for. Had to turn the wlan off, to quit it again.
USB-3 didn't allow a faster install than the former old SD-card. 4 hours without actualization, instead of 8. Also, the installation from the same live-usb went different. Didn't ask to remove unneeded language-packs or packages unsupported by the hardware. About half into the installation, its live update window turned empty white, and didn't show the progress bar anymore.
New buggy behavior: Login screen, once clicked, grays out the display for about 20 times, before turning black, and after some while the desktop appears. Everything worse unresponsive than on the SD-install. Already the main menu takes 3 times to click, til it shows. As much to turn anything on. Freezing often, closing often not possible because of run-away processes.
Thanks for your enough detailed instructions how to partition. Even if it didn't work as expected. It booted in uefi.

I didn't find any way in Gparted to flag the supposed boot partition as esp or boot. Mageia must have it installed in its own partition. Its choice was there anyway in the boot menu, and booted also this way.i would (and almost always do) use a graphical program like GParted to create the esp as well the partitions for the distros.

I misunderstood this advice. From within Mageia live for install, this command wasn't recognized.even so, when i boot a distribution live i usually run theefibootmgr
command to make sure it works.
