If the availability of a particular desktop environment is a showstopper, then perhaps RHEL and CentOS are not the best choice for you. RHEL 8 has dropped KDE, never mind Mate. Providing and maintaining alternative desktop environments over the (long) life cycle of CentOS 8 will require a sustained effort by volunteers over many years. I wouldn't count on $PREFERRED_DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT continuing to be available over that time frame. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list [email protected] https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
