UbuntuMCE

UbuntuMCE is a distribution of Ubuntu released by LinuxMCE in mid-2023. It features apps that make it easier to use LinuxMCE in sync with Ubuntu.
== Extra Apps ==
=== Media Center ===
The most important one of the bundled apps, it allows you to manage music and TV shows. They can easily be filtered. Due to a partnership with Netflix, you can stream Netflix content if you connect your account.
=== Lighting Panel ===
There is a bundled app called "Lighting Panel". It allows you to manage the lights in your home. Various different brands of "smart lights" (including MCElight) are compatible. It displays a grid with panels for each light, and below is a simple on/off toggle. Clicking a panel brings up a sidebar with options for the light.
=== ROMmce ===
There is also a ROM emulator. It can emulate ROMs of the following consoles:
* Arcade games emulated by MAME
* Atari 2600
* Atari 5200
* Atari 7800
* ColecoVision
* Intellivision

=== Security Panel ===
One of the features is a security panel. It requires a 4-digit PIN to access. From there you can set your status (Home, Away, Sleeping, Extended Away), view security cameras, and arm your home. It is now compatible with smart locks, doorbells, and the Nest line of security cameras.
=== TeleCom ===
The TeleCom application connects to your cellular service plan and allows you to make calls. It also connects to the LinuxMCE mobile app to automatically route calls to your device if you're away.

The climate panel allows you to manage your AC and fans. Any device that supports MCEconnect can be linked and managed.
