MATE 1.2 released - Traditional desktop environment
Hello, adagio.
Thanks for the heads-up. It's feast for the eyes, judging from their screenshots. But it appears to be a biggie, all divided in smaller files.
Aside from the patience required to assemble those in a pet or sfs, we'd have to check the dependencies required vs what we have on various Puppies.
Big project, that. I don't have the time right now. But nice to know it exists.
BFN.

So do I, but I think it's too complicated for Puppy which thrives on lightweight apps. I've recently downloaded Salix 13.37 Mate though, and will be trying that soon.Adagio wrote:Likewise.Big project, that. I don't have the time right now. But nice to know it exists.
What a dog's breakfast.
Maybe it IS destined for Puppy.
I just spent 10mins installing the core files, and getting bogged down with deps.
I'll re-visit it another time.
I like the look of it.
Gigabyte M68MT-52P motherboard, AMD Athlon II X4 630, 5.8 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 250 GB Hitachi hard drive running Ubuntu 16.04.6, MX-19.2, Peppermint 10, PCLinuxOS 20.02, LXLE 18.04.3, Pardus 19.2, exGENT 200119, Bionic Pup 8.0 and Xenial CE 7.5 XL.
I have a CD copy of Mint-12, and Mate is available to add on.
It is included in the DVD version.
So I installed Mint, and hate it.
It used to be my favourite a few years ago.
It has become Green Ubuntu, and can't find my 3G.
I have Salix 13.37 Ratpoison and KDE around here somewhere.
Just checked the size of Salix Mate-- 610MB.
I'll pass on that for now.
