This is my 'Personal Build' of Pinguy OS 14.04 (Fully updated as of 20th November 2017)
Issues: The weather stats in Conky needs manually setting up with your area. See here on how to do it: http://forum.pinguyos.com/Thread-Fix-Conky-Weather
As for an update about Pinguy OS. To be honest I was not happy with the direction Ubuntu was taking. I was not happy with 16.04. I felt they were spending to much resources on Ubuntu edge/mobile and the Desktop OS suffered because of this.
As they are moving away from Unity and MIR in favour of Gnome and Wayland, I will take another look at Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and will do a new release based on that release. This will include updating 'Pinguy Builder'.
- Removed VLC and replaced it with SMPlayer with MPV backend.
- Added a 'Auto-Update' cron script that runs once a day.
- Replaced Plex Home Theater with Kodi 17
- Replaced Thunderbird with Wavebox (Gmail client).
- Discord, Binreader, Filezilla and Vivaldi added
- Added a Plex Update script to simplify the updating of the Plex Media Server.
- Added Firefox ESR. (set as default)
- Added Ace Stream Player.
- Added PulseAudio equalizer.
- Added projectm-pulseaudio.
- Added TeamViewer 12.
- Updated Skype.
- Kernel updated to 4.4.0-101-generic (because of this some proprietary graphic drives will not install unless you downgrade the kernel)
