Please note: The above url, may not work if the release has not been made public.

This is NOT a LTS (Long Term Supported), the primary reason for this build is introduction of RyZen based processors, which by the way are across the board in Linux faster then any desktop processor Intel has including HEDT (High End Desktop) CPUS's. To put things in perspective Intels Server based CPU's it takes down to a point. Hopefully Windows catches up with Linux in general. I have seen the 7700K v/s Ryzen 1800X in game and single core does win a frame up to 3 in gaming performance, that will stop as they advance games to utilize more then one core. Ashes of singularity is a prime example of what we have coming.

I also want to make you think, in Linux it is unquestionable. When I build operating systems I do not care if I have 4 cores or 128 Linux in general will fully utilize them. I did spend more time on this operating system then I do atypically. There is a method to my madness.

Please feel free to post positive as well as negative.

Excellent, as usual!

While we're at it, the usual list of quibbles:
…
Boot options - Help
How to select DE? (as in budgie/Maté/Kodi/XBMC)
…
On Synaptic Reload:
1
The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/kvibes/mediaelch/ubuntu zesty Release' does not have a Release file.Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
2
GPG error: 'http://os-builder.com/Games Games' Release: The following signatures were invalid: 1804EE0014AE5656D55BA62C4F7A22B6A744DB59The repository 'http://os-builder.com/Games Games Release' is not signed.
or
The repository 'http://os-builder.com/Apps Apps Release' does no longer have a Release file.
…
Coping with papercuts:
How to adjust number of workspaces? Or hide Conky?
Add pavucontrol for full(er) optionset, add xscreensaver for access to screensaver adjustments
…
LightDM GTK+ Greeter settings
Theme "Ultimate_Edition 5.4" not found
Icons "Ultimate_Edition Dark Glass" not found (at first)
…
Control Center / Look and Feel / Windows - "The current window manager is unsupported"

ppa.launchpad.net/mediaelch/

Yeah, not every PPA keeps up - that one has entries from Precise to Xenial, but not Yakkety or Zesty ... or Warty.
At github, 2013 saw the last update for Precise, Quantal, Raring & Saucy; 2015 for Trusty & Utopic, 2016 for the rest.
Launchpad only shows entries for Utopic, Vivid, Wily & Xenial.
It's not easy to keep up with crack-the-whip development's constant earthquakes. Especially in a market as busy as online TV.

To select the different DE you need to boot to os then Log out then it will give you a List where you can select the different DE's then log back in to the one you want!
