I'm tired of gnome 3.

Is mate a good option?

>using a DE

>>54466589
No, it's obsolete. Don't use obsolete or deprecated software. Gnome 2 was superior for it's time, but not for 2016.
>>
>>54466589
Why did they choose to call it "mate"? That is a rather derogatory term used to describe animals having intercourse.

The Java Desktop System is the best DE.
>>
>>54467369
Holy shit, I recognize that DE from the military. I didn't know what it was called or even that it was a DE. I just thought it was Solaris 10. Good stuff, thanks for posting anon.
>>
>>54466937
But Mate is not customizable. It's one of the least customizable DEs around, for that matter. You need to type fucking console commands to hide desktop icons and enable/disable compositioning,
It is however functional.

See OP anon, that drink is called mate and from there comes the DE's name

This. Honestly, why use anything else?

>>54466589
Plasma 5.6

>>54466589

Lumina is the only correct answer.

South American actually. Bolivians, Brazilians, Paraguayans and Uruguayans also enjoy it.
