>sudo apt remove mate* (or sudo apt remove "anything*") is usually a bad
idea.
All is well, I figured that's what that command did before executing it as
well. I am still quite new to GNU/Linux so I don't have any data/information
on this computer that needs keeping, so I can just install Trisquel again if
need be. Only thing I'm installing is some browser add-ons and vpn each OS
install.
I saw a reddit post about someone wanting to switch from MATE to Gnome and
just followed that.

certainly should.
This perplexes me.. perhaps I might watch a show while reinstalling Trisquel
fresh, to try and install Gnome without removing MATE again.
Thanks!
