Hey old timer it looks like you didn’t watch the Linux Desktop Roundup above…? 
Yes we all know they are out there but why bother with that flaky, buggy Xfce nonsense 
when only using nice 386MiB you can have the winning gnomeMate 
tweaked by Trisquel 
to look and feel so polished and so stable right out of the box… 
without any of that lightweight ambiance!
@Mina And to top it all it runs fast and snappy as you like on a 13 year old laptop - how cool is that…? 
It’s a no brainer
