Ubuntu MATE
Ubuntu MATE is a free and open source Linux distribution and an official derivative of Ubuntu which uses the MATE desktop environment as its default user interface, instead of the Unity graphical shell.[1]
The Ubuntu MATE project was founded by Martin Wimpress and Alan Pope[2] and began as an unofficial derivative of Ubuntu, using an Ubuntu 14.10 base for its first release;[3] a 14.04 LTS release followed shortly.[4] In February 2015, Ubuntu MATE gained the official Ubuntu flavour status from Canonical Ltd. as per the release of 15.04 Beta 1.[5][6]
