Ubuntu MATE
A retrospective future with Ubuntu MATE.
Ubuntu MATE is a community-developed Linux distribution built on the Ubuntu base and integrated with the MATE Desktop. It provides a stable, easy-to-use operating system with a configurable traditional desktop metaphor, designed for users who want to get the most from their computers. With modest hardware requirements, it is suitable for modern workstations, single-board computers and older hardware.
The distribution includes the MATE Desktop with panel customisation, MATE Tweak and the Ubuntu MATE Guide, alongside familiar layouts. Pre-installed applications include Firefox, LibreOffice, Evolution, Transmission, Déjà Dup, Shotwell, Rhythmbox, Celluloid, GParted, Engrampa, Caja, Pluma and others. Under the hood it uses Ubuntu Base, apt and snapd for software distribution, systemd, X.org, PipeWire, Network Manager, cups and grub2. It is available as a free, open-source operating system, with no paid editions or seat-based licensing described.
