No, definitely not. I use MATE on C7, because Gnome is, how do I say this politely..., um, horrible. Not a KDE fan either.

Re: [CentOS] Roughly how many more months before CentOS 8.0 release?
Where can we learn more about the workflow and software used to build
CentOS RPMs and iso images?
This will be extremely helpful to everyone facing the same challenges of
building a custom distro.
Thank you all for the hard work on CentOS.

As said elsewhere in this thread, there isn't currently an EPEL maintainer for Mate, so you will have to look elsewhere I did come across https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/raveit65/Mate-GTK3/ a short while ago when I was looking for a possible 'update path' - but never got round to trying it out ... I guess that if unless 'someone' takes on the maintainer role for Mate at EPEL, then there will be no upgrade path James Pearson ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Mate on Centos 7
I have been running Mate on Centos 7 for some time but it does not work very well on my HiDPI laptop screen. Today I found that I am running version 1.16 of Mate whereas the current version is 1.22. Undoubtedly many of the issues have been fixed since 1.16 was released in 2016... However, EPEL only provides 1.16 - a release from 2016 - and nothing later. What is the recommended way to upgrade to 1.22? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
