clean mate desktop

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi, what distro has a clean Mate desktop without own menus, etc? Ubuntu 
or Arch? Ubuntu has different panel / menus than Arch, which is 
original? Both of these has accessibility issues, Arch menu icon text in 
panel isn!t updated, for example Vlc media player accessibility icon 
stays on the first played song, system updater shows your system is up 
to date, but updates are awailable, the Ubuntu menu items are some 
without accessibility label. I want to track Mate development, but I 
don!t know, which distro to install.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Pavel

In Ubuntu, you can switch back to the default layout with a tool called 
mate-tweak.

I personally always advise user to use Debian because we're trying to 
provide accessibility out of the box.

Best regards,

Arch has the latest and cleanest version of MATE that works with Orca. Fedora is 
probably the next closest, but needs a lot of tweaking to make it work with 
Orca, whereas its GNOME version works out of the box. If you're trying to follow 
development of clean MATE, Arch is the way to go, as they just package upstream 
without patches. Debian and Ubuntu are both heavily patched, and tend to be old. 
So if you need to report a bug, it's harder to report them to the MATE 
developers, since it's possible your bug has already been fixed, but hasn't yet 
filtered down to your distro.

The Mate guy that develop on Fedora is aware of accessibility and would 
appreciate bug report to make fixes for all.

Best regards,
Alex.
