Ultimate Gamer Arch Edition
I managed to Install Ultimate Gamer but I find it difficult to configure Discover to install additional applications.
To begin with I tried it's Gnome version which was released in January, 2025. Its image incomplete i could not install and after four attempts, I gave up and used the Plasma edition to install.
Installation went all right.
WiFi was finicky.
Plasma Desktop and KDE
A few minutes ago, I did a calculation to see how much Plasma desktop takes in memory.
It has no application and file manager Dolphin had to be installed separately.
However, I do like plasma for the same reason it does not have hundreds of tiny application I never use.
But akregator is not among them but which is a KDE application.
It takes a huge 1 GB, somewhat similar to LibreOffice.
Next one in line which takes, a lot of memory is Firefox (about 330MB for English edition).
Pingus, Tuxkart and Frozen Bubble also take large memory which is realistic since they are graphic intensive, games.
Pingus is my favorite.
In any case biggest contributor to memory drain or the hungry applications that drain memory are the games.
Over the years I used Dillo, Epiphany and Falkon.
Falkon which is KDE based takes up lot of memory which I call the unnecessary cookies
They are invariably bundled up with the browser.
I always used Firefox from the moxilla time, and I would never give it up since it is second nature to me and it has done yeoman service to me.
Linux Gamers Live, the Arch derivative is top of my list and Linux Ultimate Edition is close second and Knoppix 2008 December edition comes third and I could not find a new version of games in spite of Knoppix 6.7 was out and looks fantastic.
Knoppix cannot be installed on hard drive.
Why I choose Linux Gamers Live was simply
because its front-end just looks like Apple front-end and ready for
games with icons instead of names.
It also can be installed into hard disk now.
Now instead of trying to outscore these three edition which I have done a lot for Linux games, I will list my favorites below.
Even PCLinuxFuillMonty though, they have a place for Linux guys and girls.
Indirectly FullMonty comes fourth.
1. Number one is Super Tux 2 and I enjoyed playing hours and hours.
2. Close second is Pingus and its environmental theme is commendable.
3. Number three is Extreme Tux Racer which is sweet and relaxing
4. Number 4 is Super TuxCart (this is for the racing addict)
5. Number 5 is Tuxcart (This is for the training on racing)
6. Number 6 is Frozen Bubble
7. Number 7 is any of the 100 of tiny games
If any of the Linux distributions fail to introduce any of the top 5 of mine selection, I thought of giving them minus marks in my rating in future.
Mind you with Wine and get-edit, one can play Windows, DOS and Atari games of the yesteryear.
