Ultimate Edition has a lot going for it. However, the latest release, version 5.4, also reflects numerous missteps that developers of a seasoned Linux distro should avoid. Ultimate Edition is a fork of two popular Debian-based Linux families — Ubuntu and Linux Mint — that aimed to take the best of both Linux entities and blend in a fresh mix of visually stimulating features. Ultimate’s developers took a path that diverged somewhat from the two new desktop environments that were the hallmarks of its forked heritage.
UE 5.0 (16.04 XFCE) has been my daily driver since it's release. I prefer it to the nearly 50 distros I've tried. I'm not a fan of any of the Gnome flavors I've tried so 5.4 wouldn't have been considered. Maybe looking at the XFCE and KDE Ultimate Editions may have different results and should be considered as well.
Ultimate Edition 5.5 is great distro. It has everything I need, except Qemu while I prefer Virtualbox.It connect to the internet wirelessly. The downside is it runs slow on my Asus X450C with only 2 gb ram.
First; it is developer, not developers. I also have a 40 a hour week Job (4 X 10HRS). I do have multiple beta testers and moderators for our forum. I write UE (with software I have created) called TheeMahn's Operating System Builder(TMOSB) I take very little care in Non-LTS (Long Term Supported) releases, which BTW was developed for RyZen based Computers as can be read on our homepage. I also own amd-epyc for developing server based products & 9 other websites. Believe me when I say this I have my hands full.
