How to Install MATE Desktop on Ubuntu 22.04

Are you looking for a change of pace from the traditional GNOME desktop environment? Or perhaps you're new to Linux and want to try out a different graphical user interface (GUI) experience? Look no further than the MATE desktop, which can be easily installed on your Ubuntu 22.04 system.

The MATE desktop is a popular alternative to GNOME, offering a lightweight and intuitive interface that's perfect for both beginners and experienced users. And with its extensive set of tools and utilities, you'll have everything you need to manage your Ubuntu system like a pro.

Installing MATE Desktop

To get started, you'll need to install the MATE desktop environment using the tasksel command. This command is used to install multiple packages at once, making it easy to get up and running with MATE in no time.

Here's how:

* Open a terminal window as a regular non-privileged user.

* Execute the following command: `$ sudo tasksel install ubuntu-mate-desktop`

Alternatively, you can also use the tasksel command to install the ubuntu-mate-core package, which is a lighter version of MATE with fewer pre-installed apps.

* `$ sudo tasksel install ubuntu-mate-core`

Using Tasksel

The tasksel command is not available by default on all Ubuntu systems. If that's the case for you, don't worry – it's easy to install using the following commands:

* `$ sudo apt update`

* `$ sudo apt install tasksel`

Once installed, you can use tasksel to install MATE desktop with ease.

The MATE desktop is a great choice for anyone looking for a change of pace from GNOME or wanting to try out a new GUI experience. With its extensive set of tools and utilities, you'll have everything you need to manage your Ubuntu system like a pro. And with these simple steps, installing MATE desktop on Ubuntu 22.04 has never been easier.
