MATE

MATE is a desktop environment used in Linux-based operating systems. It provides the visual interface and tools that allow users to interact with their computers, such as windows, menus, and icons. MATE is a continuation of the classic GNOME 2 interface, designed to be lightweight, stable, and user-friendly. It enables users to perform tasks like browsing files, managing applications, and customizing their desktop layout efficiently. MATE is especially popular among those who prefer a straightforward, traditional desktop experience without the more modern, resource-intensive features found in some other environments.
