Thank you! 🙇

My sincere thanks to everyone who has played an active role in improving Ubuntu MATE for this release 👏 I’d like to acknowledge the close collaboration with the Ubuntu Foundations team and the Ubuntu flavour teams, in particular Erich Eickmeyer who pushed critical fixes while I was travelling. Thank you! 💚

What changed since the Ubuntu MATE 24.04 LTS?

Here are the highlights of what’s changed since the release of Ubuntu MATE 24.04

  • Ships stable MATE Desktop 1.26.2 with a handful of bug fixes 🐛
  • Switched back to Slick Greeter (replacing Arctica Greeter) due to race-condition in the boot process which results the display manager failing to initialise.
    • Returning to Slick Greeter reintroduces the ability to easily configure the login screen via a graphical application, something users have been requesting be re-instated 👍
  • Ubuntu MATE 24.10 .iso 📀 is now 3.3GB 🤏 Down from 4.1GB in the 24.04 LTS release.
    • This is thanks to some fixes in the installer that no longer require as many packages in the live-seed.

What didn’t change since the Ubuntu MATE 24.04 LTS?

If you follow upstream MATE Desktop development, then you’ll have noticed that Ubuntu MATE 24.10 doesn’t ship with the recently released MATE Desktop 1.28 🧉

I have prepared packaging for MATE Desktop 1.28, along with the associated components but encountered some bugs and regressions 🐞 I wasn’t able to get things to a standard I’m happy to ship be default, so it is tried and true MATE 1.26.2 one last time 🪨

Major Applications

Accompanying MATE Desktop 1.26.2 🧉 and Linux 6.11 🐧 are Firefox 131 🔥🦊, Celluloid 0.27 🎥, Evolution 3.54 📧, LibreOffice 24.8.2 📚
