Mutiny on Ubuntu MATE 14.04

Support & Help Requests
1

Hello,

I was using Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS on my notebook, but since Ubuntu 16 (all flavours) are extremely more heavy than older versions, I was thinking about swithing to older versions Ubuntu like 14.04 LTS and more lightweight flavour, I found MATE desktop. I don’t like the default layout, but I like Mutiny, because I love Unity style.

I found that Mutiny is not available for Ubuntu 14.04, but I don’t want to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04, because let’s say that Ubuntu MATE 14.04 consumes about 260MB-300MB RAM and Ubuntu 16.04 consumes about 500MB RAM (double). I rather hate Ubuntu 16.04, and I don’t want to switch to LXDE desktop, because I don’t like it and there’s not a big performance difference between LXDE and MATE.

Is it possible to get Mutiny on Ubuntu MATE 14.04?

Mutiny is a panel layout for Ubuntu MATE.

Thank you

Since you like the Mutiny (Unity) look and not the weight have you taken a look at the latest flavor to be released?

Budgie is nice, but what is initial RAM usage? I like MATE 14.04 because it consumes only about 300MB :slight_smile: And I watched some review on youtube and some youtubers said that it is buggy.

So is not easier to port/install/apply Mutiny into 14.04?

I had a look and not finding anything Mutiny for 14.04.

You realize MATE14.04 reaches end of life next month.

I don’t care about support, I don’t want to use heavy Ubuntu 16 (I like Ubuntu, but Ubuntu 16 is piece of …), MATE in Ubuntu 16 is consuming 2x more ram than MATE in Ubuntu 14.
