Hello,
Just installed Ubuntu Mate on my HP mini. Thank you for the great job you have done! I really like the OS and how light on resources it is. I am planning to install Ubunt Mate on my main computer as well.
Welcome to the gang @Beppe.
I have been using it recently and am enjoying it too. It reminds me of how Ubuntu was around 2006 without Unity. I’ve tried the various Ubuntu flavours and this is my favourite from a visual standpoint. It looks simple to use and doesn’t bury too much away (something I feel Unity does). At the moment, I am using Xubuntu on some other machines but hope to transition those over to Ubuntu MATE sometime. Both of these Ubuntu flavours are very good for keeping legacy design elements, which work just as good today (putting a modern touch on it).
