> So what you suggest should be the first choice to bet on? First of all I would like to thank you all for the many interesting and useful answers. As I mentioned, my desire is to have a highly usable, easily configurable, stable over time UI. The problem is that I don't have much time available to implement a highly customized solution: for this reason I have been using MATE since its early releases (to avoid gnome3) and I can't decide to change. Someone asked why wanting to change MATE, the reason is the concern of being sooner or later "forced" to do so in case MATE evolves too much in directions that do not seem "appropriate" to me (systemd oriented deps, freedesktop / gnome3 "external" deps, wayland etc.) ... I have read the release notes for MATE 1.24 [1] and the roadmap [2] and some things seemed worrying to me: - they say "If your system doesn't, uh, support systemd [...]" uh ??? why uh ??? - they are going to: "Add support for AccountsService" "Complete support for systemd-logind" "Add support for Wayland" However, keeping in mind the advices I received from all you, I did some quick tests using a VM. The ideal for me would certainly be a pure openbox WM. But at the moment it would take me too long to arrive at a satisfactory configuration such as usability and pleasantness, in addition to the effort to change many of my habits ... I think LXDE could be a good compromise for me, because it has openbox but it is faster to configure and more "close" in use for those who come from a different "ready-made" DM... For now I am continuing to use MATE ... Soon I will do the upgrade ASCII -> Beowulf and then decide what to do... In the meantime, it would be useful for me to understand better if my concerns about MATE are sensible or are just some form of paranoia ... I thank those who want to give me an opinion on this.
