DownloadPearl Desktop 8 64 bit codename Qanon is based on 19.04 Ubuntu release.
Pearl Desktop features multiple pre-configured sessions
by default. The default environment is PDE-FX which is the
Pearl Desktop Environment with the special effects we love
from the Compiz window manager.
Just above that on login screen is PDE. This session defaults
acually it was suppose to default to xfwm4 window manager. It
acually starts openbox.
Their is also a KODI session as well as a LXDE mode. Our next
release features our take on the current Ubuntu session for
Ubuntu's soon to be released Ubuntu 19.04 Codename Disco which
at the core this Pearl release is based on as well. Because of
the fact it added very little to the Pearl Desktop since it
uses some gnome componets we kept the Pearl session as well as
the Pearl Session running Wayland. These session can be found under
the login screen under PDE-FX

You might get an idea of whether or not you're going to like Pearl Desktop 8 based on whether you like MacOS or are a member of Qanon. Both of those are pertinent. If you love Alex Jones and your iMac, you're set for life here. If not, you may need to delete the link to prophetic-news.com in your browser and plugins for Qanon and Infowars in your Kodi (which comes pre-installed). But this is one sweet system. Based on Ubuntu 19.04, with a hybrid desktop mixed from XFCE and LXDE with lots of Compiz Fusion mixed in, you'll find your biggest problem will be updates -- there are very few mirrors, and they are down quite a bit of the time. (I do have a friend who hosts official mirrors for several distros and has offered to host a Pearl mirror, but has not heard back yet.) The music at bootup is loud and surprising, but beautiful. The wallpapers are retina-blowingly lovely. The layout even has some icons copied from MacOS (hopefully nobody issues a cease-and-desist notice soon). If any of this sounds good to you, you should try Pearl Desktop 8. It may surprise you.
