best ubuntu flavor

what are the main reasons to get it over ubuntu

>>59695678

don't have it installed myself but my guesses are

- speed
- more customisation
- less botnet

Using it on my seedbox because it was the only linux distro offered. I can't tell the difference from ubuntu besides cosmetic and the programs that come preinstalled.

>>59695868
+1 for MATE

>*buntu
Disgusting

>>59695567
Last time i used it, there was screen tearing. Is that still a thing?

tried ubuntu for two weeks, ubuntu mate for a month, and stuck with xubuntu because it just werks

>>59696202
yes. install compton

>>59696202
yes

>>59695567
Comfy, like Lubuntu.

>>59695868
seconded. I found MATE to be way comfier and better looking

>>59696230
I fail to see how mate and xfce are different. Maybe you can explain.

Just upgraded to xubuntu 16.04, loving it. Been using xubuntu since 8.04, no issues just works out of the box

>>59695567

Outside of Thunar randomly crashing when renaming files, it's the best light *buntu distro out there.

>>59695868
Into the garbage it goes. Mate is just a poor man's Xfce

>>59695678
lighter, faster, more customizable, better looking out of the box.

Prolly the best obongo flavor alongside MATE

>>59697757
Stop that

but he's right

>>59695567
The mouse is cute

>>59695567
xfce is too basic for my taste

I miss gestures and window alignment and whatnot

What were you saying? This isn't exclusive to Mint MATE btw.

Anyone try the Ubuntu phones?

>>59695567
Manjaro have better configuration and addons don't screw up the panel.
Their "software center" or what is extremely slow. Deleted that useless shit after install.

What's the point of XFCE when Cinnamon exists?

>>59695678
except standby does not work out of the box, hotkeys are utter garbage and some more flaws you have to configure before you can actually start working

>>59697757
Is Xfce on GTK3 yet? No? What a shock.

>>59695567
Linux Lite is better.

>>59695567
It's great but I wish they ported it wayland

>>59695567
works for me

>>59695567
I like it, nice and simple without being a hardware hog with minimal number of programs, still I prefer KDE Neon's approach regarding minimal preinstalled programs without going ARCH tier and taking forever to setup.

The default desktop environment is not that great though, ended up tweaking it a bit to my liking by installing i3 while retaining some of XFCE's stuff like the panels and it is almost perfect.

Still having issues with the compositor acting up, especially when playing videos in MPV fullscreen. Gets jumpy with randomn shit going back and forth such as the frames when pausing or the clock when it advances or highlighted text. Issue disappears when I exit fulscreen.

Too much window/scrolling judder and tearing as well, even if I install compton.

>>59695567
Going to play Total War: Warhammer on it right nao.

>>59700993
>Still having issues with the compositor acting up
diregard, don't even have a compositor enabled xfwm4 is disabled and compton is not installed to prevent conflict with i3. That problem must be Xorg or MPV related.

>>59695567
my only problem with xfce is no inbuilt quicklauncher.

>>59697757
Did you really try mate?

In mate you have tlp and all indicator applets preinstalled that are much better than xfce one.

In mate compton is configured and stop tear screen.

>>59698936
What do you mean with window alignment?

>>59695567
>no high dpi scaling
trash

>>59697757
more like xfeces is poor man's MATE

>>59701676
Yeah I tried, it's better than gnome or unity, but still not quite as good as xfce

uh..yes it is?

>>59695567
There needs to be a Wayland version of Xfce. The only thing stopping me from using Xubuntu (or Xfce in general) is that Xfce forces me to choose between horrible screen tearing and a shitty resource-draining compositor.

Lubuntu is better.

Still waiting for AMDGPU-PRO support for hd 7950. 15.04 is getting old.

>>59695868
I'm sorry sir, but Xubuntu is a better lightweight and stable alternative. Even though I like Cinnamon most, but Xubuntu would be my second choice and then comes Ubuntu MATE so you are generally one of the better OSs/DEs.

>Mint Cinnamon>Xubuntu>Ubuntu MATE

>>59695678
>main reasons to get it over ubuntu
None, because it's just Ubuntu with other default installed packages. Perhaps it saves a bit of installation time compared to just installing Ubuntu and then installing the XFCE desktop (optionally removing other desktops and packages).

>>59695868
I actually don't like MATE, though I do see it's appeal. And I did like GNOME2 even though it was a bit crippled compared to GNOME.

I realize this sounds a bit silly but I honestly think that GNOME1 was the best GNOME version and KDE3 was the best KDE version.

>>59701648
You mean like what you get if you press alt+f2?

>>59702168
mate it shit.. buggy, lacks a lot of features
gnome <3 total shit.. who the fuck came up with that fucking interface and said "well, that's nice" ?!
KDE <3 is shit.. slow, weird, not many options to configure
Cinnamon and xfce are maybe the only GDEs worth working with

>>59702203
gnome2 was my ideal env. everything I could ever ask for.. why those fuckers crippled it

>>59697741
one is gnome

>>59702136
You can get amdgpu for older cards by compiling a kernel with proper flags, or maybe it was a patch, I don't remember. Read linux-cik

>>59696202
who has seen this -- isn't a problem isn't an issue
something the microshitters keep saying happens
like "linux is slow" .... has anyone seen the poor state of windows, post 7? They're out of mobile and their existing platform has deteriorated -- nobody even knows what it is supposed to look like anymore

>>59702203
more lies .. mate is "buggy" .. used it for > a year
haven't seen one single issue

idiot

"is buggy"

you seen the state of windows now?

>>59702298
not talking about windows..
been using cinnamon of 2+ years and decided to try mate cuz cinnamon is not very compatible with compiz and I needed compiz for smtn.. nvm
that fucker always misplaced my panels, icons, sys tray.. everything.. even the panels flickerd..
so you can shove that "more lies" of your somewhere..
