- I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Mate desktop environment on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish).
- Ubuntu mate is the official application as it maintains GNOME 2 aesthetic, plus Unity felt “heavy” at the time. You can use Ubuntu support channels.
- This was possible because Ubuntu MATE is not yet an official Ubuntu flavor and that allowed using the Ubuntu MATE PPAs by default.
- One difference is Mate from the site is version 1.8 and on top of ubuntu currently is v1.6. I don't know if ubuntu 14.10 is any different.
- Execute the following linux command to begin installation of the Mate desktop: $ sudo apt update $ sudo tasksel install ubuntu-mate-desktop.
- Follow the guided steps to install the MATE desktop environment on Ubuntu 22.04. Step 1: Update system packages.
- These Ubuntu flavors come loaded with different desktop environments and packages. As the name suggests, Ubuntu MATE comes with MATE desktop environment.
- A Mint 18.x desktop looks better on first boot than an Ubuntu 16.04 desktop, even with MATE installed on the Ubuntu system.
- Ubuntu MATE 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo) is the standard release from Ubuntu MATE team, supported for 9 months until January 2022.
