  • I’m running MATE on my laptop. It gives me what I need (a task bar, space for some instrumentation, the usual desktop functionality, a way to start applications) and nothing that I don’t care about (wobbling windows, compiz, stuff like that). My DE is a tool; I use tools that don’t get in my way because I have work to do.

    I might give COSMIC a try in a few months, I haven’t decided yet.

    In the last… I want to say six or seven years, issuing Macbooks to sysadmins has been a common thing in the sectors I work in. Rather than put up with us going rogue and messing up license tracking by rebuilding our stuff with a distro of choice, management just throws OSX at the problem (us, we’re the problem) because operationally it’s close enough for our purposes.

    It’s not my choice or preference, but the money’s green.
