Re: The mate-user-guide is inaccessible.
Hello John,
In Debian Buster Mate is at version 1.20 but in Slint currently it is at version 1.24.
This could explain (or not: to be honest I didn't check) some of the differences.
This being said the sources files of the various components of Mate come from the same repositories, but the choice to include or not a feature and the associated default configuration is made by the package maintainers of the various distributions.
Cheers,
Didier
