when I first started with Linux it was with gnome2 and I guess I'm getting too old to learn new tricks. I tried KDE a couple times but just didn't warm up to it.
I really like the customization I get with gnome2 and have been in a state of limbo since they dropped it completely in 12.04
Mate as an add on never did work right on my old computer either but this seems to be pretty well integrated with 14.10
the funny thing is I had just found flashback-sessions which was a lot like gnome2 and was liking using it in 14.04 when I found this. No way will I go back to it now.

To me this is a dream come true
