Here's the MATE desktop on top of Artix Linux. It is installed on a ThinkCentre Tiny M700. This is the computer for this week's RetroEdge.Tech Computer Giveaway. One thing that I do not like about MATE (and therefore the old Gnome2) is that there is very little keyboard control of the desktop environment. The 'super' key does not launch the Start Menu. Ctrl+Alt+t does not launch a terminal, et cetera. Perhaps adding rofi on top of MATE would be a good blend of old and better keyboard control. https://substack.com/home/post/p-196717939 #Linux #artix #Lenovo #MATE

  • @matthew@social.retroedge.tech You might consider sxhkd? If you make one config you can easily replicate it, and adjust where needed? It is available on all distros/bsd's known to mankind.
