       @itsfoss Yes.  I use Mate with the Marco window manager.  I wish Compizwould work properly because it's got a lot of cool features but it doesn't.

       @ksaj @itsfoss I prefer a pulldown menu to the mess that KDE gives and I prefer the older style Mate menu, though by default now it ships with the same menu as Gnome, it is easy to remove that menu and put the classic menu back up.  I use the Marco built in Window manager both because it works locally but also plays well with x2go, some of the others do not.I make use of virtual desktops, so an interface that makes it easy to switch between them is convenient.  Mate works well in this respect.  I just hit control+alt and then use the  left or right arrows to move up or down.  I have 16 work stations configured but usually am only using five or six, but there have been times when I've had all 16 in play.

       @itsfoss At one time I had a dell with 4GB of RAM and two cores, then a light desktop was important.  Presently I am using an i7-9700k with 96gb of RAM and nvme, so not so much.  But x2go doesn't work well or at all with accelerated graphics so some things are still best avoided if I am remoting in to one of my servers.

       @itsfoss I used to use a model 35-KSR at the local telephone company to install software updates into #1ESS machines or to add hardware in preparation for a growth job.  Such fun.

       @4fd485 @itsfoss Since I sometimes display X-apps remotely over the network as opposed to using an entire remote desktop with X2go, and since also I have Intel graphics which work with the kernel X-server, I don't use Wayland for both reasons.  I am hopeful that either some day Wayland on Wires will reach a mature state where it actually works, or XLibre provides an efficient interface that works with gamers and then can have the best of both worlds, but for now that is the case.
