The MATE 1.22 release migrated many programs from Python 2 to Python 3 and from dbus-glib to GDBus. In MATE 1.20, which was released in February 2018, support for HiDPI was added and the GTK+ version got increased to 3.22. One of the aims of the MATE developers is to provide a traditional user experience while using the newest technologies. MATE 1.6 removes some deprecated libraries, moving from mate-conf (a fork of GConf) to GSettings, and from mate-corba (a fork of GNOME's Bonobo) to D-Bus. New features have been added to Caja such as undo/redo and diff viewing for file replacements. The most popular Linux desktop was, and arguably is, Gnome 2. and based on the popularity of Gnome 2 in previous releases of Linux Mint, we are dedicated to support it and to help it improve. We consider MATE yet another desktop, just like KDE, Gnome 3, Xfce etc.

The project is supported by Ubuntu MATE lead developer Martin Wimpress and by the Linux Mint development team: MATE fully supports the GTK 3 application framework. Screenshot of MATE 1.10, GTK3 version, on Manjaro Linux MATE became an official Arch Linux community package in January 2014. MATE was initially announced for Debian on November 8, 2013, at its official website. MATE aims to maintain and continue the latest GNOME 2 code base, frameworks, and core applications. History Īn Argentine user of Arch Linux, named Perberos started the MATE project to fork and continue GNOME 2 in response to the negative reception of GNOME 3, which had replaced its traditional taskbar ( GNOME Panel) with GNOME Shell. The use of a new name, instead of GNOME, avoids naming conflicts with GNOME 3 components. The recursive backronym 'MATE Advanced Traditional Environment' was subsequently adopted by most of the MATE community, again in the spirit of Free Software like GNU ('GNU's Not Unix!'). The name is stylized in all capital letters to follow the nomenclature of other Free Software desktop environments like KDE and LXDE. MATE is named after the South American plant yerba mate and tea made from the herb, mate.
