Has not failed once.

Im personally not a fan of UEFI booting however that being said should boot
that way as well.


This version of Pearl does not contain KODI

ThanKs tO YouTubE!

KODI is still having issues with the KODI addon which effects
just about everything.

This release is running on a developers prereleased version of 20.04 from
Ubuntu as base however you do not have to reinstall once they release it.
We maintain a software repository as well as Ubuntu and we are a semi rolling
release so we gonna keep things up to date.

Unlike before we will have more frequent point releases and less random releases.

Mainly MATE and PDE will be main focus through this LTR of ubuntu's 20.04 version.
