Intoduction

The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.

MATE is under active development to add support for new technologies while preserving a traditional desktop experience.


Applications

MATE is composed of a number of applications. The renaming is necessary to avoid conflicts with GNOME components.

With it, you can run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220, and xterm terminals.

Where does the name come from?

The name “MATE”, pronounced Ma-Tay, comes from yerba maté, a species of holly native to subtropical South America. Its leaves contain caffeine and are used to make infusions and a beverage called mate.
