Rocky 10 "Easy Mode" MATE Desktop Spin

Skip, thanks for the update, I appreciate the effort to maintain an independent Xorg implementation of Mate.

Just upgraded to the latest Mate build without issues. Thanks @skip77

Sweet, glad it worked. It worked for my machines as well :wink: .

I’m spinning a new ISO here in the coming days, I’ll link to it. I’m also doing a more vanilla GNOME one that doesn’t require the COPR repo, but still has all the enhanced features and pre-installed things. I’ll keep folks posted - just grateful this works as well as it does.

Hey @skip77. Thank you a lot for your work! And thank you for keeping the packages updated.

I’m maintaining the XLibre packages for Fedora and EL, and this is the last piece for a full and great desktop experience on older hardware on EL :slight_smile:

However default EL supports only x86_64 v3. I would like to ask you if it would be possible to add Almalinux x86_64 v2 to the repo for older cpu compatibility? I’d also be happy to help with the implementation and maintenance if needed :slight_smile:
