Re: UnUnified
"N.B. Also, yes for you Linux/Ubuntu zealots who feel the need to point it out, I am fully aware that I could install Mate on vanilla Ubuntu or any other spin off, I just don't like having to go to that much effort immediately after install to get to a GUI I feel is usable."
- I've pointed that out on occasion. Nothing really to do with zeal, I started with linux on Suse with a choice of desktops on install. I've seen comments from many saying they installed some flavour, didn't like the desktop and said they were going to reinstall to try X, then maybe Y next. Such a waste of time, but many assume to get the mate or gnome desktops in ubuntu, you must install the relevant flavour. The flavours add a lot to the ubuntu ecosystem, but avoiding this confusion is not one of them.
If you are knowledgeable enough to already know this or know what you want, ignore the advice, it is often advanced in the spirit of trying to be helpful.
