Re: Mate for CentOS 8 (thanks)

Metoo. I use the MATE desktop, as the least annoying of all desktops available on all three of el6, el7 and Ubuntu LTS 18.04. As for el8, officially everything except some gnome is removed, KDE was never available, probably still not available, so meh. FWIW, I am evaluating el8 and ubuntu LTS

Re: Mate for CentOS 8 (thanks)

I'm just wondering why there isn't a gnome-flashback package, similar to the Ubuntu package? gnome-flashback is essentially gnome-2. Thanks, Art Edwards -- Arthur H. Edwards edwards...@fastmail.fm On Tue, May 19, 2020, at 10:48 PM, Keith Lofstrom wrote: > On Tue, May 19, 2020 at 4:45 PM
