That's still several years in the future, of course.
I use Mate on all of my machines rather than Gnome or KDE and I'm sure many of you fine folks do the same.
But it's interesting nonetheless.
Hi, based on the multitude of answers and options received, you can also consider the magnificent old days CDE, now open sourced. Here a screenshot of version 2.2.0d (beta ;-) as compiled some months ago on my Fedora 28 Asus U36SD .. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JrRPdCpYXzyAB0hhVqRyfr2Pj_mtL3dr/view?usp=s...
I just see that there is now final version 2.3.0... time to recompile it on Fedora 29 https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/files/
I couldn't resist... and I cannot forget how beautiful it was on my HP9000 workstation on 1994 !

I hope that konsole will still be around after 2024, or that terminal is upgraded with the konsole features.
I recently put together a lab machine to test drive the hypervisor features of kvm. I could not get the numeric keypad to work with gnome3 on the host machine. I could get it to work with KDE and Mate, but the screen management for a two monitor hypervisor was not as good as I needed. I finally tried cinnamon and was impressed; it had great screen management with the hypervisor host and guest, and my numeric keypad worked. I have continued cinnamon.
