I'm looking at what Ubuntu Mate 16.04 installed when I installed it a few days ago and I'd like some opinions on some software that was left out.
Right now, it appears that I only have mate-desktop-environment-core/xenial,xenial,now 1.12.0+1 all [installed]
installed. (Which I'm going to call "M-D-E-C" for the rest of this post).
I do not have the following installed:
mate-desktop-environment/xenial,xenial 1.12.0+1 all
MATE Desktop Environment (metapackage)
mate-desktop-environment-extra/xenial,xenial 1.12.0+1 all
MATE Desktop Environment (extra components, dummy package)
mate-desktop-environment-extras/xenial,xenial 1.12.0+1 all
MATE Desktop Environment (extra components, metapackage)
ubuntu-mate-desktop/xenial 1.154 amd64
Ubuntu MATE - full desktop
Is there any reason I should install any of those other ones? Is M-D-E-C sufficient? What are the pros and cons when it comes to installing those additional packages and/or metapackages?
I'm very happy with my set up right now, however I just want to be certain I'm not missing out on anything important/fun/interesting/etc by sticking with M-D-E-C only.
