As we know, Ubuntu MATE is an unofficial (for now) Ubuntu flavor which uses MATE as the default desktop environment. MATE is a GNOME 2 fork introduced after GNOME 3 and GNOME Shell replaced the classic desktop metaphor, which led to some criticism from the Linux community. Currently, MATE only supports GTK2, but the plan is to add GTK3 support with MATE 1.12.

Compared with Ubuntu 14.10, Ubuntu MATE 14.04 LTS bring a few changes, though most of them had already appeared as updates of Ubuntu MATE 14.10. One of these is that, for example, Ubuntu MATE14.04 supports standard Ubuntu AppIndicators

Ubuntu MATE 14.04 also includes new applications installed by default : MATE Tweak as utility to configure the graphical environment, MATE Menu as application launcher and the inclusion of VLC as default media player instead of Totem.
