Hi Peter, It doesn't say Ultimate because Ultimate is just a name tag to differentiate it from Core. It says 'Bionic' because it is based on Ubuntu 18.04 (codename "Bionic Beaver" - all Ubuntu releases have an animal code name). ;) :D

If somebody walked up to you and said, "I'm going to stick my bionic beaver in your quantum harmonizer" What would you say?

(A) "But, wouldn't that cause a parabolic destabilization of the fission singularity?"

(B) "Yeah? Up yours too, buddy!"

(C) Say nothing, grab a nearby pipe, and hit the creeper in the head to knock him out.

(D) Say nothing, as you slowly walk back several feet before turning around and running away.

Treker... lil' too much coffee, today?

Peter, thanks for supporting the Distribution. I have often wondered who comes up with those names... But this bit of insight may also help you with other troubleshooting. As you can search for an issue under Bionic, for example:
"How to change terminal background Bionic" as your search entry to help reduce clutter.

Well actually, I managed to get a solid 8-hours last night, and I finally felt nice and awake with no headache. So you could say I was a bit wired on natural energy. I still think it was funny though hehe. But now its the end of the day and I am tired again, so no more energy, except what will carry me to bed. Then I will snooze, and hopefully get another 8-hours, but something tells me I won't this time lol.
