Ultimate Edition Forum

Oh, okay then. My apologies, I completely understand that. Is it because it is Mint based do you think or no? What linux distro is currently your main? Thanks.

No prob, bro. No idea, seems like I never had any problems at all with any Ultimate Edition version until Mint was introduced in this one. Oh, I`m still using it, like I said, a bad version of Ultimate Edition is still better than a perfect one by anyone else. It`s just irritating, 2,6.3. LTS, 2.9, 3.0 Lite, 3.0 Gamers, 2.8, 2.7 and 2.6 all ran like champs, perfect in every way. This one is just buggy on my machine, no idea why, nothing has changed but the version. Not knowing the behind-the-scene scenario, I can only speculate that during Glenn`s bereavement and subsequent absence, a certain someone that is no longer on the team pushed his distro idea, (which is always based on Mint), to the dev team and it went from there. I could be, and probably am, way off-base, but that`s what it feels like. Look everyone, if I didn`t love Ultimate Edition so much I wouldn`t bother to raise a stink. But I KNOW 3.0 is the best distro on the planet, it just needs a little extra code-stroking by the dev team to be what Ultimate Edition symbolizes: ULTIMATE. That`s all I`m asking for here. Okay? UPDATE: I changed the title to better reflect my personal opinion on the subject. And that`s all it is, just my opinion. But I`ve been here a long time and I feel that gives me the right to say what I`m feeling.[/quote]

Your alright man! lol. I completely understand your post though, it is very hard to enjoy something with so much issues. It just causes unwanted stress.

You too, my friend. Yeah, but it`s still a beautiful OS, for real. I just got aggravated.

Last time I checked, personal opinion is what the internet all about, especially forums. If you don't like personal opinions and if your all about Dictatorship, then you might want to just go ahead and unplug that Ethernet cable from your computer.

With that out of the way, I have to say that this release is by far the worst thing I have ever installed on my computer. It is like a noobie built this thing. Buggy as hell and not for anyone that has a life. This thing just requires way to much tweaking to get it stable. I have supported Ultimate Edition for several years now and even was an admin on this site for about a year. I have watched this awesome distro go from the top of the list to the bottom in a short couple of years. I was holding out for 3.0 as my final Ultimate Edition to use, but this is NOT a worthy Ultimate Edition to use. I would not recommend this thing to my worst enemy. It is that bad.

Looks like I might just have to start building my own distro again. The only way I am going to get anything like the old Ultimate Edition distro's that I fondly remember.

To TheeMan: I understand were you are coming from man. I do not blame you for this travesty. I give you mad props for getting away from building distros and focusing on the more important things in your life. I wish you the best of luck man.

Time to close this thread, please. Thank you, mods.

will do.
