Ultimate Edition Arch Gamer is Fantastic

ARCH-Ultimate Edition ARCH Linux

Arch Ultimate Edition Linux is an Arch based distribution designed to be a feature rich and highly customised desktop operating system. It is geared toward both new and experienced users, aiming to provide a powerful environment out of the box, often with a focus on gaming, It is geared towards developers and advanced end users but it aims for ease of use.        

The desktop environments I have used is KDE Plasma and in my opinion it is the best KDE Plasma without any overhead to play games. 

However, one can add applications and make it a stand alone Music Player.

That is what I did within 2 hours, downloading, writing it to a USB stick, installing and adding, AbiWord, AVL, Audacious, GIMP, Blender and Dolphin File Manager to  organise my work place.

It uses the Calamares GUI installer and the installation was brisk, under 15 minutes, due to no unnessary overhead. 

In reality as if there was no desktop hindering work output but the whole screen to  play games. 

I got Dolphin installed but no Nautilus.

No Synaptic Package Manager but it has Cinnamon and XFCE Images.

 All sand-boxed with Flatpak.

The Plymouth greeter is pleasing and it did not ruin my long GRUB Menu.

It is the best option available for any annoyed Ubuntu User. 

I could not believe how i missed it for so long? 

This is I am running Ultimate Linux on Vivaldi Browser.
I do not like Chrome Browser.
First Vivaldi and second Abiword, both brisk installation and running fine.
It is Arch based and 6.9GB one need a 8GB USB. It also has images bigger than 8GB for Developers.
Direct Download was pretty fast.

When I used Ultimate Edition last time round, about 18 months ago, I could not install it.
It is KDE and I was trying to find a match for KDE Neon. 
KDE Linux is RAW and is not an image for ages. It is still in testing stages.

I am guy who do not like bulky Desktop except for playing games.
This is Gamer Iso and I hope, I could install it on 30GB partition.
Hope it would not take over my hard disk.
Last time GARUDA Linux destroyed my NUC hard disk.

I gave 30GB and it has 40,3197 files.
Booting is smooth.
It indicated my NUC has no Bluetooth.
WiFi is smooth.
Colour Selection is Excellent.
Installation is smooth.
Panel setting is good.
It has 4 Workplaces.

I used UE long time ago during 32 bit era.

Thank YOU ARCH Team for reviving it.
I have no hesitation of recommending it to a Gamer.

I begin to hate both Redhat and Suse Gamers. They crave RAM and ask for NVIDIA graphic utilities.
Linux used to play Games with minimal resource in the past and was successful.

I did not time it but installation finish under 15 minutes.
