Is like night and day from the 12's to 13's and even just 13.04 to 13.10! Is why I am suggesting to give building a shot so you can see what everyone is up against! If things stayed the same as it was in 12.10 would not be hard at all. Windows to me has been a secondary system, safely usable on Virtualbox. Unfortunately, others do not see it that way, so have dual boots on my PC and Laptop. Of course on PC is only entrusted to a separate hard drive. I will never trust it to the same hard drive is too destructive! Even though I lack the experience with building OS's the ones I build out perform Windows by far. Now if you have read some of what TheeMahn had written me in the post I did "Thankful for Problems???", you will see along the way, he has also had to build programs! Some programs have not kept up with the rest in progress, so is very very difficult for anyone that is building OS's especially if they also have to continually write programs to make the system work! Personally, since I am such a fool for Gnome, I wind up in trouble since there are so many new things they keep incorporating into their desktops! Then I have to also keep track of other progressions in Linux! I do not wish this on anyone as is at times many sleepless nights! Still, when the end result is an OS that runs smooth, no continual crashes and does what is supposed to, is worth the effort! Also did not mention, now TheeMahn has a full time job, whereas I am still looking, so I have more time on my hands! So we all have to be thankful he is spending his free time to accommodate everyone! That alone I respected from the very first time I installed Ultimate!Below is my idea of using Windows in a safe manner! Current system seems to manipulate Windows like a toy! Will say loads of progression as when I started was not easy to manipulate Window in Virtualbox like this!

I could not fit the roms in for mess and mame. Could not get all the icons in the icon folder or all the themes I created. Last part is not a severe loss as not everyone likes my themes, but without the roms and icons leaves it slightly limited. Does have all the functionality for every program installed. No arm support. KDE works but seems to move a tad slow. Am no developer and this one has really taken me for a ride! I wish I had cable since I am getting more of a clue on how to put these things together and would absolutely love to upload them when completed! This 3rd one by all means runs nice and know someone with better skill than myself could probably improve its performance, so am bummed I can not upload it since am sure could make some people happy. Is the time I wish I did not live in hicktown USA and had cable! When I had cable I did a bunch of nonsense, now that am working on things that make sense figures I would be at a handicap! Today I found a build of 13.04 I had back in May, I believe it may be in good enough shape to recoup! I would be able to create something more feasible to people. I got carried away on the 2nd one, installed some developmental tools, went south on some things creating havoc with the architecture. The image I found pre-dates that so is salvageable! Has Gnome, KDE LXDE and XFCE and now Cinnamon. Still has Ubuntu desktop, but I plan to remove that, I can not stand that desktop way too ugly! Apologize that I can not upload yet, but if at some point I get a job and access to cable, you bet I will!!!! No fun in all this if someone else besides myself can not enjoy it! Plus all ideas for OS's inspire others, just as some of my takes on themes have probably inspired others. I absolutely love progress!!!! I will do anything to see it keep going! Going to mess with that ole image and see what I can make out of it!
