Hello,
I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu.
ubuntu-24.04.2-desktop-amd64
and I didn't like the desktop layout, so I
installed Mate.
This Mate does not seem like Mate from
the recent past.
I would even prefer the Raspbian style desktop
to this one.
It is not easy to find programs, and I'm trying to
set up a starter system for folks used to Windows.
Would Mate installed on a new Debian be just as
bad?
I then installed LXDE, but it seems that I can
only boot up with Mate.
I ran the
update alternatives --configure
x-session-manager
and there are like six choices, and I have tried
about all of them, but they all boot up to Mate.
Yet, when I go back into the x-session-manager, it
appears that my last selection was selected.
I am looking for either Raspbian style menus or the
type where we press alt F1 and have the three pull down menus.
Thanks for any help.
Glenn
