a DE is only as powerful as the human sat in front of it who configured it. In normal daily use many of us only use a tiny percentage of the features available to us. I'm still finding new tricks with MATE too. glad you found something you like though with fvwm.

You are correct that every use case is different and i also think that these window managers are becoming old as newer tech like wayland arrives. MATE is in transition state like GNOME3 is since F14. I am waiting for full transition to complete. Have one machine for MATE and one for XFCE. I do not fully understand the implications of the changes.

the transition is from GTK+2 to GTK+3 started with Fedora 23 and in F25 it is 99.9% complete. all packages are compiled in GTK+3 for this release. sure there are a few niggles that still need ironing out but it works reasonably well as a DE. The stumbling blocks I have faced are due to components from other DE I use (bluez from GNOME in particular).

Don't know if you will see this but my mother, who is 80, is infinitely grateful to you as it allowed her to continue to use a computer without too much changes after win Xp lost all support.

I installed Fedora 25 and installed that skin on cinnamon that allows her to use it as if nothing had changed.

Thank you.

The developers of that CinnXP Spice definitely won't see your thanks as it is not Fedora specific. Anyhow, it's good to read your Mother is getting on fine with Linux with the familiar feel.

If this forum can remotely help otherwise uninterested people, it's awesome. I hope it happens more often, even though we don't know.

Wow, a Solaris CDE theme? That takes me back! CDE wasn't great, but I'd still prefer to use it over Windows.
