Recently i decided to try MATE. I had XFCE installed. So I ran:
Code:
yum install @mate-desktop
I did not like it. Anyway, I though
Code:
yum remove @mate-desktop
would uninstall JUST mate. But I realized mate and xfce share some dependencies. My desktop crashed.
I need help for uninstall MATE from any way and keep XFCE.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-core
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment

Is there guna be/ or is there a MATE spin? I didnt see one and me and alot of mates i know really like the simplicity and flexibility of the mate desktop.. I was just wondering if there was ever guna be one...
Unity is the default desktop environment in Ubuntu 12.10. Although, it has improved a lot but if you’re still looking for an alternative desktop with classic GNOME 2 style layout then you may try MATE.
MATE is also a GNOME 3 based desktop (just like unity), it’s easy to use, and the it’s stable too.
