I’ve tried using the default one, but we just don’t get along. Unless I used the Ubuntu MATE panel layout, my panels would be frozen when I logged in I expect this is Canonical’s fault, and not the fault of the Ubuntu MATE team. This came broken out of the box, and I couldn’t find anyway to fix this.

When I tried to run the Update Manager from the command line it would spit out some information about a Python bug and not run at all. Instead, the Update Manager would show up in the taskbar, I would try to click on it and no window would pop up. Ridicule me all you want, but this is the kind of hand-holding that I expect from a modern operating system. Oh, and it will also tell you if you need to reboot after the updates are installed, which was always confusing for me when I used Arch.

The Update Manager is supposed to pop up and tell you when updates are available, give you the option to install them, you type in your password, and then you continue on your merry way. One of the things that brought me from the Arch camp to Ubuntu MATE is that on an Ubuntu-based system the Update Manager will make sure that you get security updates on time, which makes system administration much easier. Ubuntu Update Manager is completely broken

A normal user shouldn’t be expected to know how to do this, but I managed to fix it (I don’t remember how, just Google around).ģ. To me this seems like a misconfiguration on Canonical’s part of IBus, but I’m not super familiar with that infrastructure. I Googled around for a bit, then changed something with the input method, and the problem went away. Out of the four issues, though, I managed to fix this one. I would open it, type a key, and the window would disappear. So I was surprised when I found that on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 synapse couldn’t stop crashing. I’ve really enjoyed using Synapse on other distros, and even on Arch Linux I found it to be extremely stable. I’ll share the 4 most crippling issues when I used Ubuntu MATE 16.04, in from least frustrating to most frustrating: Instead, I want to share some feedback so the distribution can continue to be improved for everyone. It would be very easy for me to just turn my back on this whole experience and forget about it completely, but I think that would be selfish. Unfortunately, Ubuntu MATE has inherited many bad things from being a part of the Ubuntu family as well, and consequently using Ubuntu MATE 16.04 turned out to be an exhausting waste of time. Ubuntu MATE Welcome, TLP and Compiz are great examples of how the Ubuntu MATE team have gone above and beyond what is expected from an Ubuntu flavor. Some of the most prominent Linux bloggers have vouched for this distro’s unique combination of innovation and stability.
Martin Wimpress and his team really know what they are doing when it comes to listening to the community and fulfilling the vision of a retrospective future. Initially, I was extremely excited about the release of Ubuntu MATE 16.04. I was tired of the breakages in Arch Linux that required user invention, and I decided that I just wanted something that was stable. After using Arch Linux for two years, I finally thought I had found an Ubuntu distro worth using.
