Being based on the Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) operating system, Ultimate Edition 4.6 Gamers comes now with more than one of the biggest collections of Linux games, as it includes a pre-configured version of the popular XBMC Media Center software, which gives users instant access to over a million TV channels.

So, no matter if you're a hardcore gamer or you just want to relax and watch a movie or TV show, or listen to your favorite artists, Ultimate Edition 4.6 Gamers has it all. According to the developer, this version aims to be the ultimate entertaining system.

"It is the ultimate entertainment system. It has a list of games that just scrolls by on the screen even on a 4K monitor," says TheeMahn. "I want to break down this for the gamers, I can play more games in this O/S then any Windows based O/S can, after all there is no Linux emulator for Windows (please feel free to chime in)."

You can even run Windows games
