Hey All,
I'm considering moving from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7. I'm not interested in
dealing with Gnome 3. I've heard good things about Mate, a fork of
Gnome 2. it appears that Mate is available in the EPEL repository
associated with CentOS 7.
Have any of you tried Mate on CentOS 7? In your experienced opinion
what would I be giving up by abandoning Gnome 3 and installing Mate
instead?
I'm using Mate on several C7 systems. The only issue is that now I
dont have to try to use that horrid Gnome thing they've inflicted on
us! :)
I also run MATE on CentOS 7, for the same reasons.
Same here however with the my latest system build I set one account up
to use GNOME 3 and it definitely has considerably improved since when
CentOS 7 first shipped.
MATE is still better IMHO but I now have some hope for GNOME 3.
Still feels like it is trying to be a tablet OS but not quite as much.
I still couldn't figure out how to do things like get green text on
black background in the Terminal (easy in Mate) or get the Applications
menu with submenus - but it was easier to use than what initially shipped.
