Ubuntu MATE is a desktop Linux distribution which aims to bring the simplicity and elegance of the Ubuntu operating system through a classic, traditional desktop environment - the MATE desktop. MATE is the continuation of the GNOME 2 desktop environment which was used as Ubuntu's default desktop until 10.10 (when it was replaced by Unity). The project began its life as an Ubuntu "remix", but starting with version 15.04, it was formally accepted as an official member of the Ubuntu family of Linux distributions.
The Ubuntu MATE team has announced the release of Ubuntu MATE 20.10 which ships with the MATE 1.24.1 desktop. The new release offers nine months of support. "If you follow the Ubuntu MATE Twitter account youll know that MATE Desktop 1.24.1 was recently released. Naturally Ubuntu MATE 20.10 features that maintenance release of MATE Desktop. In addition, we have prepared updated MATE Desktop 1.24.1 packages for Ubuntu MATE 20.04 that are currently in the SRU process. Given the number of MATE packages being updated in 20.04, it might take some time for all the updates to land, but were hopeful that the fixes and improvements from MATE Desktop 1.24.1 will soon be available for those of you running 20.04 LTS. The Ubuntu Desktop team added the option to enroll your computer into an Active Directory domain during install. Weve been tracking that work and the same capability is available in Ubuntu MATE too.
