It’s mostly Gnome 2 frozen in time - there have been small improvements here and there, particularly in Caja (the file manager). I think that’s great though personally, and use it on most of my machines.
Wayland adoption has been slow, but it is getting there.
The Gnome 2 days 👍
After Gnome shit the bed with Gnome 3 and beyond, MATE continued everything great about 2 and continues its legacy.
How is MATE nowadays? Is it just Gnome 2 frozen in time or does it have modern features?
