Posting guidelines
When starting a new topic, please be as specific as possible in the subject line and include the following where relevant:
- MATE Desktop version
- OS and version
- Kernel version (if non-default)
This helps others quickly understand the context and offer accurate assistance.
Tone and conduct
Keep discussions civil and experience-based. Opinions are welcome when backed by concrete examples or references. Members who behave inappropriately will receive a single warning before being removed. Grossly inappropriate behavior will result in an immediate permanent ban.
Keeping things organized
If a discussion drifts into a new topic, a moderator may ask that it be continued under its own thread. Please follow that guidance when asked.
If your issue has been resolved, please mark the most helpful reply as the solution. It signals to others that no further assistance is needed and helps keep the category useful for everyone.
Thanks for being here and welcome to the community.
