Ultimate Edition Forum

enter Consort desktop ! SolusOS is useing this desktop ! I am not sure as yet if it is exclusive to SolusOS BUT !!! it does do what it was intended to do ! Mimic gnome2 As I see it, Debian+TheeMahn+Consort desktop+Ultimate Edition != WIN WIN WIN !! If it is even possable to get Consort desktop ! Phoronics says have at it ! but "I" cant seem to make it happen ! NOW TheeMahn on the otherhand !!! all is well and good in Ultimate land we just have to focus !!!! and and regroup,Drop Buntu and head off in "OUR" end user's direction ! JUST MAKE IT WORK FOR ALL ! not to much work for Glenn !!!!

Even if debian is very stable it cannot cope with the latest hardware.
You need ubuntu to keep up with the pace..!

Ubuntu is mainly based on Debian testing. Not sure what better support you mean? Debian supports more hardware architectures than Ubuntu. Has more install options including a custom businesscard iso that will do a machine specific, repo selection install. (nobody beats that) Especially when added repo's like multimedia and liquorix to name a few. Check out the my debian sources.list. Graphics drivers are better installed manually from the manufactures drivers anyways. Plus everything in Ubuntu is more than a few months behind than it is in testing and even more on sid. Plus it's a kick a$$ server too...

ill give sid a try but ubuntu and debians binaries are not compatible.. !

Well then you will have a rolling release...

Ultimate Arch...

I've preached to make the jump to Debian Sid for a long time. The guys at Siduction have gone a long way and have some interesting repos like "KDE Next" from Santa and "Experimental" from Towo that have the latest and most cutting and bleeding edge. Even a Gnome 3 based distro... interesting HUH!!!

Running Siduction Paint it Black X-Mas w/KDE 4.10.3

Still at Gnome 3.4..which is fine..because it just keeps getting worse, 3.8 is trash

No no no ! you guy's are not doing your home work !!! Look at the URL !! ubuntusoftware.info/ ! Ultimate Edition is based on Ubuntu and no matter how loud we scream Ultimate is Ubuntu based ! until further notice ! to switch to another format is NEVER going to happen ! PLEASE all you new "guy's" read up on some of TheeMahns older posts ! and you will see why Ultimate Edition is a "one of a kind" and NOT a Mint or Zorin or a Penguy! this has been addressed in the past, Please you guy's are killing me over here !!! have a hart !! IF at ANY point Ultimate Edition would change, It would be TheeMahn's call!! And I bet Debian ! Not that Thee is against trying new things, but the end user IS !
Here it is as I see it !
We want
GTK2 themes and theming capabilities
out of thew box "all to work" Flawlessly !
cutting edge App's and driver's
Basically
Ubuntu 8.10
compiz 8.xx
But under Canonical !?
You best get to work Thee ! don't forget to ware your floaties when you go to walk on water !!

I think gtk2 is pretty much a dead end.
Better hardware compatibility exists with newer standards.
