Distro list on User CP
HunterZ Oct 10, 2015
Any chance that Ubuntu MATE could be added to the distro list on the User CP? I'm using it these days after evaluating several distros for gaming performance. Turns out it works quite well because it uses a software compositor by default (which you can also turn off easily if even that is too much for you).

My second choice was Kubuntu, as it makes it easy to turn off the hardware compositor (menu and hotkey options available).

Our server admin Levi has now added Ubuntu-Mate for you as I didn't have time :)

Thanks! After 5+ months of using Ubuntu MATE exclusively on my dual-boot laptop, I'm now fully committed: the laptop died, so I'm now running Ubuntu MATE on my wife's old Macbook Pro that has similar specs. I refuse to use OSX, so it's Linux all the way!

I'm also a big fan of Ubuntu MATE ; MATE has been my desktop of choice since it was 1.2, and a pure MATE Ubuntu experience with zero Unity is just what I wanted.

Hey! Why does Ubuntu MATE get a fantastic, wonderful green color while we Archers get a black and white logo :p Jealous!

I need to get our actual designer to make one that's why :P

The thread actually made me install Ubuntu-MATE on my PC. I was going to do a fresh install anyway going to Ubuntu 15.10, so instead of sticking with Xubuntu I went for Ubuntu-MATE. Pretty happy with it so far.
So thanks for posting this, and thanks Liam for adding it to the distro list!
