Not Ubuntu MATE, but I thought I would post my desktop. It's pretty much like this for months.
- Xubuntu
- Yaru-blue
- Elementary Xfce icons
- +3px padding on Whisker Menu

I won't bother posting mine because it looks basically the same as it did in 2017. I don't change it often.

Tried to come up with an alternate Redmond today using the mate-dock-applet. Not sure what to make of it.

Why do people continually tinker with their desktops? Are they hoping for something better? Something more unusal than what everyone else has for a desktop?
I finally changed my wall paper after 24 years. I had used the last one since 2001. So it is no surprise I use the Mate desktop with the Classic menu. I love my icons on my desktop, I hate docks. I do like to experiment with different distros on a USB stick, this wall paper is from Pearl Linux, and I liked it enough to change after all those years. The great thing about Linux is it satisfies those that like to tinker, and those that just love the classic and stable.

This is my 2011 27" iMac, resurrected with ubuntu-mate. It works like a charm with compiz and some theming. It is purposefully styled as a Mac (which is something I only do with this iMac, given that I want to preserve its look). Everything feels snappy because of clever compiz animations and, as a nice "plus", both my browsers (waterfox and brave) support global menu.

Just thought of coming up with an alternate layout for someone who borrows my device from time to time. Normally though, this is how my desktop has been for months already since I installed it. I like it this way, never bothered much to keep any other layout.
I'm running Ubuntu MATE 24.04.2 on my Dell Latitude 5300. I'm using Marco's XPresent and the Familiar layout.
