New ISO, MATE desktop 07 April 2019, 01:29:48 2 new MATE ISOs are available, a standard issue and a desktop edition, both with a nice, dark GTK theme. The desktop one is beefier and comes with a lot more packages, most important of which are:Code: [Select]mpvgimpmcomixinkscapeveracrypthandbrakefirefoxlibreoffice-freshsylpheedgeanywinelollypopaudacitybraseroopenshotsyncthing-gtktigervncThese are marked as community ISOs, meaning they're not officially supported like base and lxqt. 4 Likes

Less packages than the full blown experience of Mate with shiteloads of packages.Very cool, i dont mind mate as a desktop. I might have to convert once i get a bit more ram.
Re: New ISO, MATE desktop Reply #3 – 07 April 2019, 14:54:53 I downloaded the full iso and gave a try live. It is certainly a well thought out and very professional looking desktop experience. Definitely a thumbs up from me on your implementation @nous. Well done....I would recommend this for all the fans of Mate. I am still a Plasma fan however.....just because. Best regards.
Re: New ISO, MATE desktop Reply #4 – 08 April 2019, 18:59:29 Well done nous. It's snappy as a desktop - looks really great. And the power button! It let's you log out, reboot etc instead of just shutting the machine down. This I like alot!

Re: New ISO, MATE desktop Reply #6 – 19 April 2019, 22:06:27 How come the Brisk menu isn't that popular with Mate users? Is there some inherent bugs that come with it?

Re: New ISO, MATE desktop Reply #9 Р23 April 2019, 15:02:49 I tried installing the Mat̩ ISO from the download page on Virtualbox: It failed at install, at the mkcpioinit stage.btw, the installer & Live cd are nice, I hope you will maintain it.
Re: New ISO, MATE desktop Reply #10 – 28 April 2019, 10:35:02 I've just installed this new Mate ISO (not the full one). Installation went without a hitch and everthing is working that was installed. However, when coming to upgrade the packages using Code: [Select]pacman -Syyuit downloaded all the packages but then wouldn't upgrade them due to conflicts.I think it's back to the drawing board with this one.Edit: Never mind, it's just updated.

Re: New ISO, MATE desktop Reply #13 – 09 May 2019, 23:17:53 I never liked mate but I have to admit this one is pretty nice.That trick with pacman downloading and pacman eating the dots, I think I've seen it before on archlabs, how do we do this. Is it a modification in pacman code?Dark themed MATE desktop Artix releases
