Such a small amount of MATE users π.
I went with Solus MATE from the beginning on my laptop. I chose it over Budgie, since it seemed that laptop gets hotter when running on Budgie than on MATE. And i am happy with it. It's not as pretty as Budgie, but it works fine, settings are easy to find and etc.
Though "Users & Groups" still doesn't function as it should in MATE (or should i say doesn't function at all), are there any plans to fix that, cause it's been a long time since that problem appeared. Stuff like this should be working as this is something where a new user would go first to deal with user settings, change a password and etc.
