I am looking at upgrading my mail client from evolution 2 to 3 because
of some features I would like.
While pondering the whole gnome 2/3 thing, I have noticed the Mate
desktop and like what I see - but gentoo seems to be the odd distro out
without an official distro install path
If I have a desktop on a machine I go with mate when possible since I
never liked unity when it was part of gnome. I ought to check in on lxqt
since that's what Linus Torvalds was using last time I read about that.

Maybe the problem is just that the terminal emulator takes the control
over the keyboard or the desktop environment gives the keyboard
controls to the terminal emulator.

If GNOME and systemd is not going to work for you at all, you can still
switch back to OpenRC and e.g. try the MATE desktop environment instead,
which is init-system agnostic and does not depend on systemd. It works
fine with and without it.

if you want your old gnome 2.x dektop back, you should try mate, which

it and maintain the older one. Use one of the variants that don't have
it as a default. Use XFCE. Use mate. Use some minimal tiling window
