[Trisquel-users] Re : Next Trisquel LTS

There is some work on this desktop environment. If it sticks to GTK 2, I do  
not see much future in it because that would mean the versions of the GNOME  
applications, which MATE ships, will never be updated (what may include some  
security leaks that may never be fixed). Notice also that no distribution  
ships MATE as the default environment. Mint now prefers Cinnamon, which is  
based on GNOME 3.
