14 DAY TRIAL // After announcing the release of Ultimate Edition 5.0 Gamers Edition, an Ubuntu-based operating system designed for Linux gamers, last week, TheeMahn is now releasing Ultimate Edition 5.1.
Ultimate Edition 5.1 is the flagship edition of this GNU/Linux distribution, on which the rest of the official flavors are based, and it was built upon Canonical's long-term supported Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system, thus shipping with the Linux 4.4 LTS kernel and all of its internals.
The GNU/Linux distribution has been created using Tmosb (TheeMahn’s Operating System Builder) 1.9.7, which anyone can use to create his or her own Ubuntu-based flavor, and being based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it is supported with security fixes and updated packages for two years, until 2019.
However, the default desktop environment used in Ultimate Edition 5.1 is KDE Plasma 5.5.5, along with the KDE Applications 15.12.3 and KDE Frameworks 5.18.0 technologies, which are pretty old considering the fact that KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS, KDE Applications 16.08.3, and latest KDE Frameworks are available in the Kubuntu Backports PPA.
Ultimate Edition 5.5 to be based on Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus)
That being said, below you can see Ultimate Edition 5.1 in action, but if you're using Ultimate Edition 5.0 and have all the updates released through the main software repositories installed, then you're already running Ultimate Edition 5.1. Meanwhile, it looks like the developer already built Ultimate Edition 5.4.
He's also preparing for Ultimate Edition 5.5, which is built using Tmosb 1.9.8 and based upon Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus), and it looks like the Budgie desktop environment might be included in the next major release. Until then, you can download the Ultimate Edition 5.1 Live ISO image right now from our website.
