Ubuntu MATE 24.04 LTS | The Monumental Features That Will Make You Fall In Love

Ubuntu MATE 24.04 LTS is here. It's an amazing Linux distro with many new features including but not limited to a new installer written in Flutter, a completely redesigned App Center, and others. MATE is, was, and always will be one of the most mature and nostalgic Desktop Environments out there, and this release only bolsters that same feeling.

I genuinely hope you enjoy one of the best Linux distro's out there which is single-handedly responsible for welcoming many many people onto the Linux platform. So, we can't ignore the massive impact that it has on the Linux community.

You had the HUD disabled that's why it was not showing in the top bar. It is visible several times, just tick enable HUD in Mate Tweak - Panel.

[MartinWimpress]

Thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed run through of Ubuntu MATE 24.04 LTS. I'll be sharing this video via the Ubuntu MATE social accounts and my own ❤ Like you, I much prefer the dark theme 🎨 HUD was not enabled in MATE Tweak when you were hunting for the global menu 🙂

I used MATE for 3.5 years as my main production desktop. It is a reliable no-nonsense workhorse which is easy to configure. MATE never let me down. I had a great productivity with it.

I wasn't keen on trying Mate, after doing so it brought back my laptop to life. I really dislike using lightweight distros because they are always missing something or it's straight up less practical to use daily.

Ubuntu Mate is my preferred distro if I want to make old & slow computers relevant again. Very stable in my experience also, you can't go wrong with it.

My favorites is Cinnamon in 1st, Gnome in 2nd, Mate in 3rd place.

Ive always pronounced it mate, (meit!) as in pal, friend buddy!
maatey is the last thing I could have ever imagined this to be!

[GsMultiverse]

What's your favorite Ubuntu flavor?

[appleleptiker]

Looks great.

I won't use it, because I hate Canonical and don't like snaps, but that doesn't change that it does look great.

[BiserAngelov]

The reason why the global menu is not working, is because the developers missed defining it in /etc/environment. I guess it will be fixed pretty soon.
My point is there's nothing wrong with the user settings.

[badreddineboukheit]

how did you get the lts before its release ?

[ygdgxmg]

The previous installer wouldn't let me install the root partition on one drive, with the home partition on another, with full disk encryption. Can Flutter do this?

[lloritoovidexequield.]

What I want to know is how to get rid of the Firefox Snap package, and make the permanent change to the Deb version of Firefox, and prevent re-installation of the Snap version of Firefox in the future.

Any desktop environment which not by default clearly highlight the active window is broken design.

Mate, the Gnome of the 90s for vintage lovers! It's simple, it's usable and that is all what it is, nothing more! Only the look is vintage, underneath they migrated to Gtk3 framework to keep the pace with the maintained frameworks. Btw, Mate still crashes when you change or cycle through the themes... When Gnome2 came out it, the today's Mate, it was too bloated for some people and this is how XFCE was born, XFCE = debloated Gnome2! Cinamon on the other hand was the reaction of Linux Mint maintainers that didn't love the Gnome3 look&feel, and they created Cinamon, a classical look&feel (Windows like) based on Gnome3. So if you want a modern DE, easy on resources, that can look as any desktop you want, there is only one option: KDE! If you like the bare minimum, try the tiled window managers!

[tuele]

Next time, please maximize the windows.

[shawnchalfant]

Mate has gotten stale the last few releases. I miss the old themes when the background matches the color theme.

[spudhandle]

They didn't even bother to update the wallpaper on 24.04... This flavor is dying, if it isn't going to be maintained, maybe canonical should disassociate with this. Very disappointed.

[joatmor]

How is Mate any different than Gnome 2? It's yet another windoze nockoff (yawn) ... boring.
