Pearl MATE 5.0 built from Ubuntu 16.04 LTR base and is available in 32 and 64 bit versions. Updates automatically come from Ubuntu as well as the Pearl Repository which contains our packages built from the Linux Mint 18 (sarah release).
Like all Pearl releases Pearl Mate 5.0 gives the user the ability to customize their own version of Pearl and create a Linux Live USB installer image plus many added features such as both OS X and Windows easy theme switching.

Another part of the Pearl Linux default features on all releases is the ability to use Compiz Desktop Effects. Tho some developers run from compiz due to the worry of using excess system resources... I strongly disagree. Only experimenting with compiz effects are when the system may become unstable. Pearl uses a default Compiz Setting that is both pleasent to look at yet very safe.

PearlMATE contains many Flat themes

    Former Versions are excellent; 1.0 is the very best, better than MAC-OS ever was. But: 5.0 doesn't boot, neither from DVD not from USB, what a pitty. One star is too much, because it's unusable!
