    Here's the MATE desktop on top of Artix Linux. It is installed on a ThinkCentre Tiny M700.

    This is the computer for this week's RetroEdge.Tech Computer Giveaway.

    One thing that I do not like about MATE (and therefore the old Gnome2) is that there is very little keyboard control of the desktop environment. The 'super' key does not launch the Start Menu. Ctrl+Alt+t does not launch a terminal, et cetera.

    Perhaps adding rofi on top of MATE would be a good blend of old and better keyboard control.

      @matthew You might consider sxhkd? If you make one config you can easily replicate it, and adjust where needed? It is available on all distros/bsd's known to mankind.

        A while ago, I used sxhkd with the bspwm window manager.

        Question that you may know: can you use sxhkd with i3wm even though i3wm has keybinds in its own config ?

          @matthew Tbh: never tried it (went straight to sway). But I found this one just now and it mentions using i3-msg in sxhkd for your i3 keybinds (like going to another workspace etc):

            Your sxhkd mention makes me want to try bspwm again.
