I prefer XFCE but MATE is pretty good. I'd say it's my second favorite DE. Ubuntu is a steaming trash though. The only non-meme distros are Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, RHEL, and maybe Void if you're looking for non-systemd init system and a good package manager. Other than those, it's all outdated operating systems meant for embedded/server use, and hobbyist systems that break every day.

It is Ubuntu MATE because it is Debian Cinnamon.

I've never used a *buntu without a daily "internal error" message

inb4 stallman comes in

It's buggy as fuck

I feel like I have to use Ubuntu since nobody ever has packages for just Debian

What the fuck...

>>60929126
What makes Ubuntu MATE, specifically, a good distro compared to installing a minimal Ubuntu install with MATE DE? Is it the defaults, and if so what defaults? Because otherwise, there is no point in install any "flavour" of Ubuntu when you can build a minimal install yourself, or just install Ubuntu and MATE.

>>60934376
Flavours include branding, such as the custom splash screens. They are also customized a bit in terms of defaults to make the OOBE better.
