Ubuntu-MATE è uno spinoff diventato ufficiale e realizzato col desktop MATE.

Versione 21.10

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

MATE Desktop

A significant effort  has been invested in fixing bugs  in MATE Desktop 1.26.0, optimising performance ⚡ and plugging memory leaks. MATE Desktop is faster and leaner as a result and it’s underpinnings have been modernised and updated. This last point mostly benefits developers working on MATE, but is important to highlight to users at it demonstrates MATE Desktop is being maintained to ensure it’s longevity.

Here are some of the other quality of life  improvements in MATE Desktop 1.26:

  • The Control Center features:
    • Improved Window Preferences dialog with a more comprehensive window behaviour and placement options presented.
    • Display preferences now has an option for discrete display scaling.
    • Power Manager has a new option to enable keyboard dimming.
    • Notifications now support for hyperlinks.
  • Caja can format drives and has a new Bookmarks sidebar.
  • Caja Actions, which allows you to add arbitrary programs to be launched through the context menu, is now part of the Desktop.
  • Calculator now uses GNU MPFR/MPC for high precision, faster computation and additional functions.
  • Pluma has a new mini map instant overview, a grid background to turn Pluma into a writing pad and the preferences have been redesigned.
  • Atril is much faster scrolling through large documents and the memory footprint has been reduced.
  • Engrampa, the archive manager, now supports EPUB, ARC and encrypted RAR files.
  • Marco, the windows manager:
    • Correctly restores minimised windows to their original position.
    • Thumbnail window previews support HiDPI.
  • Netspeed applet shows more information about your network interfaces.

While MATE Desktop is not completely ready for Wayland just yet, 1.26.0 represents a significant stepping stone towards that objective with most of the MATE Desktop being able to run on a Wayland compositor. 👍

Ubuntu MATE Enhancements

Ubuntu MATE has tweaked 🔧 the default desktop configuration slighty:

  • Image Extrapolation and Interpolation is disabled by default in Eye of MATE to make image viewing faster and image quality sharper.
  • The Alt-Tab pop-up is now expanded to fit long window titles.
  • If you use the Mutiny layout, session loading is now faster.

Guest Session

Once in a while a friend, family member, or colleague may want to borrow your computer 😱 The Guest Session provides a convenient way, with a high level of security, to lend your computer to someone else. A guest session can be launched either from the login screen or from within a regular session. If you are currently logged in, click the icon at the far right of the menu bar and select Guest Session. This will lock the screen for your own session and start the guest session.

A guest cannot view the home folders of other users, and by default any saved data or changed settings will be removed/reset at logout. It means that each session starts with a fresh environment, unaffected by what previous guests did.

RedShift

RedShift makes a return, after being temporarily removed in Ubuntu MATE 21.04.

Raspberry Pi images

We will be refreshing our Ubuntu MATE images for Raspberry Pi in the coming weeks.

Major Applications

Accompanying MATE Desktop 1.26.0 and Linux 5.13 are Firefox 93.0, Celluloid 0.20, LibreOffice 7.2.1.2
