First, it's nice to be here. Am interested in switching 100% to Ubuntu Mate. Two questions:
-
See picture below. How do I get rid of the lines that appear when minimizing windows? I have tried different window managers using MATE Tweak. I am currently using VirtualBox (if that helps).
-
Stupid question, but how do I uninstall system applications specifically in Ubuntu MATE? Short of it is that it does not always appear there is an intuitive way to do it via the GUI. Please advise; thanks.
I believe that's all. Hopefully someone will respond soon. Appreciate it. (See picture below.)

One more thing. See below picture. This has got to be a bug. Is it? This is from Webcamoid. The pop-up text balloon is unreadable. I haven't done anything. This is default behavior. How do I fix this? Or is this a bug?
It could be a badly supported videocard, it could be a VM bug.
Maybe disable compositing ?
It is actually hard to tell without further info. Could you issue the following command in a terminal and paste/post the output as text (marked with </>) ? One from within the VM and one from within the host:
inxi -CGmxxz

how do I uninstall system applications (packages) specifically in Ubuntu MATE?
Remove a package: sudo apt-get remove package_name
Personally I use Synaptic to install and remove packages:
Open a terminal and put in: sudo apt-get install synaptic
Then just call up synaptic, put your password in as it is root program, put the program you want uninstalled in the search box and right click mark for removal and apply. Synaptic is a powerful apt tool to update apt, change repositories, search for packages, filter packages, fix broken packages and install and remove packages.
In Linux 'everything is a file', files make up packages. This may help you:

Hi, @Omnimaxus!
I think, these "lines" serve as windows animations in Marco. You can disable this behaviour in MATE Tweak.
Webcamoid is a Qt application. MATE desktop environment is GTK-based. The theme you are using (looks like Yaru-MATE) is primarily designed for GTK applications. You may consider this as a bug in Yaru theme.
