I think you can install a minimal base system from any ISO. Just do the text
installer and leave all desktop out. Then install X and add MATE or any other
DE. You'll have to install all other programs one by one if they are not
included in MATE. The usual repos are there, so it's no big deal

I started the system without the virtual manager and now it defaults to

It's Intel, so you can use this. Use a lower value.

Niemöller was talking about the Nazis. The nazism of today is alive and it

If you're out for an "experience", you can install xfce. I like the default
