Apparently there is supposed to be something in a Linux install that
disables some feature in the bios designed to protect poor little Windows.
I installed Unity and it installed perfectly. Then I installed Mate and
it installed perfectly.
I remember hearing that distros tend to be focused on the desktop that
they primarily use and and provide the other desktops by adding and
subtracting things. So the other desktops can be step children.
This is apparently true of UBUNTU. And because I use long term support
editions, the over sight of code in might not be fixed for year.
The 17.x series of Linux Mint are all based on the 14.04 LTS edition of
Ubuntu, so if you want an LTS bas but want Mate or Cinnamon for your
desktop, that would be the route to take. That's what I have on all of
our systems at home.
