Ubuntu Mate is my favorite distro... but I run the i3 tiling window manager over it.<p>I don&#x27;t know if I&#x27;d use it or not, but I&#x27;d like to see an attempt to make an ubuntu or debian based distro centered around a tiling window manager(preferably i3). From my experience, i3 provides to the desktop what tabbing provides to browsers. One thing I like about tiling WM is that there is not &quot;native&quot; GUI so there can&#x27;t be any snort of snobbery about what is or is not native.
