14 DAY TRIAL // TheeMahn is pleased to announce the release of Ultimate Edition 5.5, a new stable build of his GNU/Linux distribution, this time based entirely on the Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) operating system.
Built using Tmosb 1.9.9, TheeMahn’s operating system builder utility, which is pre-installed in the distribution and can be used to build your own Ubuntu flavor, Ultimate Edition 5.5 is here with up-to-date components and applications, and has been fully synced with the upstream repositories to include all the latest security updates.
"Ultimate Edition 5.5 was built from the Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus tree using a combination of Tmosb (TheeMahn’s Operating System Builder) and work by hand," says the developer. "This release IS NOT a Long Term Supported (LTS) release, was built in anticipation of the Ryzen build, same as Ultimate Edition 5.4, both rock on AMD Ryzen."
Built on JackHammer, an AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Octa-Core processor
According to the release notes, the Ultimate Edition 5.5 distro was built on a computer powered by JackHammer, an AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Octa-Core processor running at 3,700 MHz. The operating system is designed to run only on 64-bit machines, and runs the linux-generic-4.10.0-25 kernel from Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus). The default desktop environment is KDE Plasma 5.
As the developer noted above, Ultimate Edition 5.5 is now a long-term supported release, just like Ubuntu 17.04, which means that he didn't invest much time on polishing and other under-the-hood tweaks at this time. However, this is not to say it won't run well on your Intel PC, though the developer optimized it to work out-of-the-box on AMD Ryzen processors.
