THE WHOLE POINT OF USING UBUNTU MATE IS THE GNOME DESKTOP
and NOT CHANGING anything on the familiar desktop we know and love
so what do you do you put thees horrible scroll bars with no stepper
buttons that are way to fast or way to slow and when the scroll bar pops out it covers the buttons on the edge of the screen making near impossible to click them without scroll bar popping out and covering them
put back the old scroll bars with stepper buttons
THEN DO NOT CHANGE DESKTOP EVER
you want to change something fix folder sharing that has not worked right since 16.04
if there is a win 3.1 to win 11-12 OR a mac of any version and linux from start to current version with a shared folder I want to see all of them and access all of the shares and all of them to see my shared folder and be able to access my share with one restriction “no execute”
otherwise full Read write for all on my network
IN 16.04 I would put the share in smb.conf and that was it
it worked now after following instructions on sharing and
it sees only AFP devices and nothing else and nobody of any os can see
my share
after doing a ton of work in terminal as per instructions
over complication killed sharing
I left MS os at vista there ham handed attempt at using the linux
kernel and trying hide that fact from the user and everybody else
I found out by right clicking “my documents” on desktop and going to
properties I traced that short cut back to /home/jbl/documents
and the desktop was also bad news
windows does not have a home directory its within the linux kernel
the last windows desktop that I consider as useful was xp sp3
so if im going to use linux kernel IN WINDOWS ill use linux I went to ubuntu 16.04 with gnome desktop and I loved it
unfortunately everything after that was running down hill
I am using sneaker net in current version of ubuntu
because folder sharing DONT WORK LIKE IT DID IN 16.04
