Mint with Maté gets no love but it's so fucking great.
Have not tried a mate based de yet. Gonna try this out after kde fedora.
Been struggling to find a distro with good multi monitor multi aspect ratio setup without it fucking up when one is turned off.
What sets mate apart in your opinion?
I guess I just think that it's one of the easiest desktop environments for a transitioning Windows user to get used to despite the fact that I've personally used Linux for over 25 years starting with old school Red Hat 5 command line.
It doesn't default to dark themes like many DEs do lately...
There's other things .... Desktop shortcut naming.. idk
