Mr Jack M. Germain has written a detailed review of Ultimate Edition 5.4. This review travels through different sections of the system in detail. Just before starting the review, he express his disappointment caused by nonavailability of budgie desktop despite of promise made in original release announcement. In his opinion, the default desktop environment with Ultimate Edition, ie, MATE Desktop is not a good choice for
ultimate operating system.
I was not thrilled with my initial hands-on experiences in getting
acquainted with Ultimate Edition 5.4. I found an annoying list of things
wrong with it.
With many years of reviewing Linux distros under my belt, I have
noticed a solid connection between first impressions of a distro's
website and lasting impressions of a distro's performance. Let's just
say that the website's disorganized condition, in this case, carries
through in this distro's latest release.
One small example: I found no list anywhere of the minimum
installation requirements for hardware. That proved to be frustrating. I
wasted time trying to load Ultimate Linux on several aging computers.
Some of the issues were memory- and storage space-related. Other issues
involved graphics card inadequacies.
