MATE Desktop: How to Get the Most Out of It

Yes, to me it does. Only the panel is traditional in my way of thinking. You are entitled to think as you wish, I don’t push my thinking on others.

It was a joke and a little bit of a demonstration of how old software also could be preceived as “modern looking”, I did not mean to offend you in any way.
If I did, I’m sorry. My apologies.

LOL not offended in any way. I know I am old and set in my ways, and not about to change.

I do think it is interesting you run lighting. How did you get into that? I would think some kind of apprenticeship, but maybe their is a college program for that too.

Since I never could make a definitive choice between electronics, IT and music, I ended up working in a live music venue after some years of IT and a lot of touring with bands as a soundtech.

In that venue as a sound tech I sometimes also had to do the lighting for bands (shit happens) and learned it by practice. It did help that my brother was into photography so I knew about the visual effects of a point lightsource on a subject.

Long story short, it came more or less naturally as a “side-effect” of being in that business so I already had some experience when I started to work for a theater although sound was still my main job. :slightly_smiling_face:

Same here. Years ago when I was on Xubuntu I switched to Greybird dark theme and the next day I got so used to it that I could never go back to a light or clear theme. Any flavor or distro I try, first thing I do is switch to dark mode or a dark theme.
