Mildly curious if this is a thing for others, too https://twitter.com/asteris/status/873957830436454401 … (might just be my decrepit rig at fault, or FF needs a reinstall)
Never tried Fedora, I'm running a Mate/Ubuntu hybrid as my secondary, but it's past time I did a walkabout of distros to see what's what.

I'm not recommending Fedora, or unrecommending it, it's default that I fell into some years ago. These days everything is gnome 3 anyways
-
Know what you mean, mate, same w me & Ubuntu. Ported from Debian sid/kubuntu, eons ago. Much prefer Mate to Unity, at any rate.
-
sometime when you feel like it, I would love to hear a rundown of the differences (mate/unity).
-
I can tell you now. Unity wasn't mean for PC desktop, never warmed up to it or other "touch" DM's (eg. W8+). Mate is functional Gnome 2 lite
-
Mate is lighter
-
Oh, most definitely. Maybe even lighter than main Gnome 2. Aesthetics aren't much an issue either. At least the Mate aesthetics work for me.
-
That was going to be my other question, appearance; now that I've gotten used to modern graphics, is Mate going to poke me in the eye?
-
Slightly, it might. Depends on your panel/hardware & fontconfig, I guess. Probably more pleasing on Mint, as it's based/tweaked on Mate.
