Can I really be the only user of Mate on Centos 7??
No, definitely not. I use MATE on C7, because Gnome is, how do I say this politely..., um, horrible. Not a KDE fan either.
Gnome-2.x wasn't broken, didn't need to be thrown away and replaced by something completely different.
Not broken, but full of bugs that will never get fixed.
I did a while back rebuild the EPEL rpms for 1.20. There are spec files I could make available but I can't find the build environemnt setup now. It involves mock, a custom local repo to receive the fresh builds as you don't want to pull in the rpms from EPEL, and a build script that defines the order, among other things. If I have time next week I can try and locate everything.
If Mate won't be (or may not be?) supported by EPEL, has anyone looked at similar alternatives?
I came across 'Cinnamon' (which is available from EPEL) - does anyone have experience of Cinnamon (good/bad/otherwise) ?
Thanks
