Why MATE?
MATE is perfect for users who prefer a classic desktop metaphor without the resource overhead of modern shells. It's highly customizable, rock-solid, and works perfectly on XLibre, ensuring maximum compatibility with hardware and legacy applications. If you liked the "classic" look of Linux from a few years ago but want the power of a rolling-release Arch base, MATE is for you.
XLibre Integration
Unlike newer desktops that are forcing Wayland, AcreetionOS MATE stays true to its roots by running on our modernized XLibre foundation. This means screen sharing, global hotkeys, and NVIDIA support "just work" without the headaches often found in Wayland-based environments.
