Ubuntu Mate 20.04
I tried the newly released Ubuntu Mate 20.04 and was pleasantly surprised with its speed and customization features. The Mate Tweak tool allows different desktops arranged depending on your needs. It offers the traditional Mate 3 menus, as well as others. The Mate Guide is a help xml guide on all the features and functions. I found the Greybird theme and papyrus icon theme in the Synaptic library and it gives Mate a great clean look. The Welcome Center is a great place to start to update Mate and install popular applications from the Software Boutique. And Mate only used 815K memory which makes it great for running on older PC hardware. Ubuntu Mate 20.04 is an awesome linux distro that continues to get better with each new release.
