Hello, If you want the desktop environment to be started automatically check that systemd is configured to run in graphical environment $> systemctl set-default graphical.target If this is already setup, and you can launch your DE with startx, check also that mate is the default DE with update-alternatives(8) or you can add the startx command in /etc/profile.
That manpage was intriguing, if not educational. I went searching for "update-alternatives tutorials". They all referenced Ubuntu and each covered only one instance.
I'm looking for something that aims to answer "What can update-alternatives do for me today?". IOW the manpage gives fine details but no sense of perspective.
