That may be, but in view of the fact that you can even get a version of CDE that works (very well) on Centos 7 (https://github.com/dcantrell/cderpm if you're interested), I find it difficult to believe that a widely used and mature desktop like Mate will just disappear on a widely used and mature Linux distribution like Centos. And since I've been using Centos for everything for a lot of years I'm not in a hurry to change to something else if I can avoid it. > Providing and maintaining > alternative desktop environments over the (long) life cycle of CentOS 8 > will require a sustained effort by volunteers over many years. If that isn't being organized by someone at this time, I would be frankly surprised. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com
