MATE aims to maintain and continue the latest GNOME 2 code base, frameworks, and core applications. History Īn Argentine user of Arch Linux, named Perberos started the MATE project to fork and continue GNOME 2 in response to the negative reception of GNOME 3, which had replaced its traditional taskbar ( GNOME Panel) with GNOME Shell. The use of a new name, instead of GNOME, avoids naming conflicts with GNOME 3 components. The recursive backronym "MATE Advanced Traditional Environment" was subsequently adopted by most of the MATE community, again in the spirit of Free Software like GNU ("GNU's Not Unix!"). The name is stylized in all capital letters to follow the nomenclature of other Free Software desktop environments like KDE and LXDE. MATE is named after the South American plant yerba mate and tea made from the herb, mate. ![]()
