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)
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.

Guess I gotta look at some screenshots. Thanks much for the info!
