haven't tried mate though. awhile back i switched to mint debian with xfce4 and loved the spartan rolling distro and lightweight desktop so much i tried installing arch with xfce4.

i haven't gone back. theres just something about the arch way that feels so right once you get used to it. i love me some deb-based distros dont get me wrong but just try arch linux or archbang one time and feel the thrill of making it your own piece by piece and suddenly linux seems like a different beast altogether. the 'distributions' are mere illusion. linux is linux.
