I really like the 90's/early 2000's Mac OS vibes on this one.

The power of Caja in Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS which I find useful to share (inspired by latest discussion on AskUbuntu) .

The below screenshot demonstrated all features of normal desktop integration between file-manager and desktop:

Here we have Mutiny panel layout and the following elements arranged by user:

• home folder icon;
• link to Dropbox folder (the folder itself is located in ~/Dropbox, controlled by caja-dropbox extension);
• desktop shortcut to Caja application copied from menu;
• pdf file with preview;
• simple text file;
• folder with Git repository inside (controlled by RabbitVCS extension);
• folder with Mercurial repository inside (controlled by TortoiseHG extension);
• simple folder with opened dropdown menu which demonstrates custom actions and menus from various extensions including custom caja scripts (usually located in ~/.config/caja/scripts) and actions configured using caja-actions-config-tool.

The screenshot of dropdown menu for empty desktop space is below:

Note: above screenshots may be overloaded by the stuff, but they demonstrate how flexible MATE desktop is nowadays. You can compare them with default GNOME Shell and GNOME FlashBack to make conclusions by yourself.

Sylvia Ritter's take on Ubuntu 20.10. Sylvia has created amazing artwork for all the Ubuntu releases and Groovy Gorilla continues that trend.
