Ubuntu Mate 16.04.1 (Arch user perspective)

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed trying out Ubuntu Mate! I think it’s a fantastic distro that’s very user friendly and the community support looks to be amazing. I enjoy the minimalist design and the software boutique is very convenient. For more of my thoughts on it, check out my first-look video. Thank you!

Hi @kreasonos1 and welcome to the community

I watched the video and I've got a few comments:

  • Subscribe to Welcome Updates to get latest software listing in the Software Boutique, as well as improvements to the Software Boutique's software (Example: search tool was added since the release)

  • You can use sudo apt install stuff instead of sudo apt-get install stuff

  • Reason why git failed to install is because when you typed in the command, the Software Boutique was busy installing Stellarium and therefore it had a lock placed on the apt stuff.

Cheers
