MATE as is or Xfce with some MATE software (swapping Thunar for Caja, swapping the XFCE calculator program for MATE’s calculator, using Engrampa instead of whatever Xfce uses for a file archive manager, etc.). I like things simple and following roughly the same paradigm that I’ve used for years.
And for the love of god, PLEASE KEEP MENU BARS AS THEY WERE IN THE PAST! Stop removing menu bars from programs in favor of “hamburger buttons” or whatever nonsense modern programs like to use! That’s honestly one of my biggest gripes with “modern” software, they keep changing the paradigm to something that I haven’t used and I can’t be bothered to relearn everything.
