Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS Review: Better Than Ever
======
Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS is undoubtedly one of the most popular [official flavors of Ubuntu][1].
Its not just me, but [Ubuntu 20.04 survey results][2] also pointed out the same. Popular or not, it is indeed an impressive Linux distribution specially for older hardware. As a matter of fact, it is also one of the [best lightweight Linux distros][3] available out there.
So, I thought of trying it out for a while in a virtual machine setting to provide you an overview of what you can expect out of it. And, whether its worth trying out.
### Whats New In Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS?
[Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more Linux videos][4]
The primary highlight on Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS would be the addition of MATE Desktop 1.24.
You can expect all the new features of the MATE Desktop 1.24 to come packed in with Ubuntu MATE 20.04. In addition to that, there have been many significant changes, improvements, and additions.
Heres an overview of what has changed in Ubuntu MATE 20.04:
* Addition of MATE Desktop 1.24
* Numerous visual improvements
* Dozens of bugs fixed
* Based on [Linux Kernel 5.4][5] series
* Addition of experimental [ZFS][6] support
* Addition of GameMode from [Feral Interactive][7].
* Several package updates
Now, to get a better idea on Ubuntu MATE 20.04, Ill give you some more details.
### User Experience Improvements
![][8]
Considering that more users are leaning towards Linux on Desktop, the user experience plays a vital role in that.
If its something easy to use and pleasant to look at that makes all the difference as the first impression.
With Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS, I wasnt disappointed either. Personally, Im a fan of the latest [GNOME 3.36][9]. I like it on my [Pop OS 20.04][10] but with the presence of [MATE 1.24][11], it Ubuntu MATE was also a good experience.
You will see some significant changes to the window manager including the addition of **invisible resize borders**, **icons rendering in HiDPI**, **rework of ALT+TAB workspace switcher pop ups**, and a couple of other changes that comes as part of the latest MATE 1.24 desktop.
![][12]
Also, **MATE Tweak** has got some sweet improvements where you get to preserve user preferences even if you change the layout of the desktop. The new **MATE Welcome screen** also informs the user about the ability to change the desktop layout, so they dont have to fiddle around to know about it.
Among other things, one of my favorite additions would be the **minimized app preview feature**.
For instance, you have an app minimized but want to get a preview of it before launching it now you can do that by simply hovering your mouse over the taskbar as shown in the image below.
![][13]
Now, I must mention that it does not work as expected for every application. So, Id still say **this feature is buggy and needs improvements**.
### App Additions or Upgrades
![][14]
With MATE 20.04, you will notice a new **Firmware updater** which is a GTK frontend for [fwupd][15]. You can manage your drivers easily using the updater.
This release also **replaces** **Thunderbird with the Evolution** email client. While [Thunderbird][16] is a quite popular desktop email client, [Evolution][17] integrates better with the MATE desktop and proves to be more useful.
![][18]
Considering that we have MATE 1.24 on board, you will also find a **new time and date manager app**. Not just that, if you need a magnifier, [Magnus][19] comes baked in with Ubuntu MATE 20.04.
![][20]
Ubuntu MATE 20.04 also includes upgrades to numerous packages/apps that come pre-installed.
![][21]
While these are small additions but help in a big way to make the distro more useful.
### Linux Kernel 5.4
Ubuntu MATE 20.04 ships with the last major stable kernel release of 2019 i.e [Linux Kernel 5.4][5].
With this, you will be getting the native [exFAT support][22] and improved hardware support as well. Not to mention, the support for [WireGuard][23] VPN is also a nice thing to have.
So, you will be noticing numerous benefits of Linux Kernel 5.4 including the kernel lock down feature. In case youre curious, you can read our coverage on [Linux Kernel 5.4][5] to get more details on it.
### Adding GameMode by Feral Interactive
Feral Interactive popularly known for bringing games to Linux platform came up with a useful command-line tool i.e. [GameMode][7].
You wont get a GUI but using the command-line you can apply temporary system optimizations before launching a game.
While this may not make a big difference for every system but its best to have more resources available for gaming and the GameMode ensures that you get the necessary optimizations.
### Experimental ZFS Install Option
You get the support for ZFS as your root file system. It is worth noting that it is an experimental feature and should not be used if youre not sure what youre doing.
To get a better idea of ZFS, I recommend you reading one of our articles on [What is ZFS][6] by [John Paul][24].
### Performance & Other Improvements
Ubuntu MATE is perfectly tailored as a lightweight distro and also something fit for modern desktops.
![][25]
In this case, I didnt run any specific benchmark tools- but for an average user, I didnt find any performance issues in my virtual machine setting. If it helps, I tested this on a host system with an i5-7400 processor with a GTX 1050 graphics card coupled with 16 Gigs of RAM. And, 7 GB of RAM + 768 MB of graphics memory + 2 cores of my processor was allocated for the virtual machine.
![][26]
When you test it out yourself, feel free to let me know how it was for you.
Overall, along with all the major improvements, there are subtle changes/fixes/improvements here and there that makes Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS a good upgrade.
### Should You Upgrade?
If you are running Ubuntu MATE 19.10, you should proceed upgrading it immediately as the support for it ends in **June 2020.**
For Ubuntu MATE 18.04 users (**supported until April 2021**) it depends on what works for you. If you need the features of the latest release, you should choose to upgrade it immediately.
But, if you dont necessarily need the new stuff, you can look around for the [list of existing bugs][27] and join the [Ubuntu MATE community][28] to know more about the issues revolving the latest release.
Once you do the research needed, you can then proceed to upgrade your system to Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS which will be **supported until April 2023**.
_**Have you tried the latest Ubuntu MATE 20.04 yet? What do you think about it? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.**_

Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS 评论:比以往任何时候都要好(士别三日,当刮目相待)
======
Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS 无疑是最流行的 [ Ubuntu 官方特色版本 ][1]之一。
不仅仅是我,[Ubuntu 20.04 调查结果][2] 也指出相同的问题。不管流行与否,它的确是一个令人印象深刻的 Linux 发行版,尤其是其所针对较旧的硬件 。事实上,它也是可获得的 [最轻量的 Linux 发行版][3] 之一。
所以,我想在一个虚拟机中尝试它一会儿,来为你提供一个可以从中有所期盼的概述。和它是否值得尝试。
### 在 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS 中有什么新功能 ?
[更多 Linux 视频请订阅我们的 YouTube 频道][4]
在 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS 上的主要亮点应该是 MATE Desktop 1.24 的添加。
你可以期待的 MATE Desktop 1.24 的所有的新特色都被打包到 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 中。除此之外,这里有很多显著的变化,改善和增补。
这里是在 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 中所做更改的概述:
* 添加 MATE Desktop 1.24
* 大量可视改善
* 修复几十个错误
* 基于 [Linux Kernel 5.4][5] 系列
* 添加实验性 [ZFS][6] 支持
* 添加来自 [Feral Interactive][7] 的 GameMode
* 一些软件包更新
现在,为了更好地了解 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 ,我将给你更多的详细信息。
### 用户体验改善
![][8]
考虑到越来越多的用户倾向于桌面 Linux ,用户体验在其中起着至关重要的作用。
如果它是一个易于使用和讨好眼睛的东西,这将使第一印象有所不同。
随着 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS 的发布,我没有失望, 就我个人而言,我是最新版 [GNOME 3.36][9] 的粉丝。我喜欢在我 [Pop OS 20.04][10] 上使用它,但是随着 [MATE 1.24][11] 的出现,它使 Ubuntu MATE 也有一个很好的体验。
你将看到窗口管理器的一些重大更改,包括 **不可见的重新调整边框大小**, **在 HiDPI 中图标渲染**, **重新设计 ALT+TAB 工作区切换弹出窗口** 和一些其它的更改, 这作为最新的 MATE 1.24 desktop 的一部分出现.
![][12]
此外, **MATE Tweak** 也获得一些惹人喜爱的改善,在其中,即使你更改桌面的布局,你也可以保留用户的首选项。新的 **MATE 欢迎屏幕** 也会告知用户更改桌面布局的能力,因此,他们不需要不断摸索来了解它。
此外,我最喜欢的附加功能之一是 **最小化应用程序预览功能**
例如,你已经最小化了一个应用程序,但是你想在启动它之前获得它的预览- 现在您只需将鼠标悬停在任务栏上就可以做到这一点,如下图所示。
![][13]
现在,我必需指出,并不是每个应用程序都如所预期的那样工作。因此,我还要说一句 **这个功能有缺陷,需要改进**
### 应用程序新增或升级
![][14]
随着 MATE 20.04 的到来,你将注意到一个新的 **固件更新器** ,它是 [fwupd][15] 的一个 GTK 前端。你可以使用这个更新器来轻松地管理你的驱动器。
这个发布版本也 **使用 Evolution 替换了 Thunderbird** 电子邮件客户端。尽管 [Thunderbird][16] 是一个非常流行的电子邮件客户端,但是 [Evolution][17] 与 MATE desktop 集成得更好,并且结果是更有用。
![][18]
考虑到我们已经有公开的 MATE 1.24 ,你也将发现一个 **新的时间和日期管理应用程序** 。不仅如此,如果你需要一个放大镜, [Magnus][19] 与 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 一起新鲜出炉。
![][20]
Ubuntu MATE 20.04 也包括对预先安装的众多软件包/应用程序的升级。
![][21]
尽管这些是小的增补 但是这在很大程度上帮助发行版更有用。
### Linux Kernel 5.4
Ubuntu MATE 20.04 运行 2019 年最新的主要的稳定内核版本,即 [Linux Kernel 5.4][5]。
使用该内核版本,你将获得本机的 [exFAT 支持][22] ,和改善硬件的支持。更不用说,拥有 [WireGuard][23] VPN 的支持也是一件极好的事。
所以,你将注意到 Linux Kernel 5.4 的众多好处,包括内核锁定功能。如果你好奇,你可以阅读我们关于 [Linux Kernel 5.4][5] 的新闻报道,以获取更多关于它的详细内容。
### 通过 Feral Interactive 添加 GameMode
Feral Interactive 以将游戏带到 Linux 平台而闻名,带来了一个有用的命令行工具,即 [GameMode][7] 。
你将不会得到一个 GUI 但是在启动一个游戏前,你可以使用命令行请求临时性的系统优化。
虽然这可能不对每个系统都产生太大影响但是它能够有更多的游戏资源GameMode 将确保你获得必要的优化。
### 实验性 ZFS 安装选项
你获得 ZFS 对你的 root 文件系统的支持。值得注意的是,它是一个实验性的功能,如果你不确定自己在做什么,那么就不应该使用它。
为了更好地了解 ZFS ,我建议你阅读我们的一篇文章,[John Paul][24] 所写的 [ZFS 是什么][6] 的文章.
### 性能和其它的改进
Ubuntu MATE 是十分适合于轻量级发行版,并且也适合现代桌面环境。
![][25]
在这种情况下。我没有运行任何特殊的基准测试工具 - 但对于普通用户来说,我没有发现任何在虚拟机设置中的性能问题。我在一个使用一颗 i5-7400 处理器、一个 GTX 1050 显卡和 16 GB 的内存条上的主机系统上测试它。并且,如果有帮忙的话,将 7 GB 的 RAM + 768 MB 的显卡 + 2 核心的处理器分配给虚拟机。
![][26]
当你自己测试它的时候,请随时告诉我你对它的感觉如何。
总的来说,除了所有的主要改进,在各处的细微的改变/修复/改进,使得 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS 做出了很好的升级。
### 我应该升级吗?
如果你正在运行 Ubuntu MATE 19.10,你应该立即升级它,因为它的支持将在 **2020年6月** 结束。
对于 Ubuntu MATE 18.04 用户(**支持到2021年4月**) 来说 这取决于你从事的工作。如果你需要最新发布版本的特色功能,你可以选择立即更新它。
但是,如果你不需要新的东西,你可以浏览 [现存错误列表][27] 并加入 [Ubuntu MATE 社区][28] 来知道更多关于最新发布版本的问题。
在你做完必要的研究后,你可以继续升级你的系统到 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS ,它将被 **支持到2013年4月**
_**你试过最新的 Ubuntu MATE 20.04 吗?你认为它怎么样?在评论中让我知道你的想法。**_
