Unity is heavily tied and integrated with Ubuntu.

Plasma: Core Team is primarily focused on providing GTK experiences and frankly lack interest in packaging, providing, maintaining, and integrating Plasma.

However, the Plank and Pantheon Terminal applications will still be provided and supported within Solus due to their popularity with our users. We don’t feel confident in being able to provide a properly integrated PantheonĮxperience given prior experiences with trivial items such as Pantheon Terminal.

Pantheon as an upstream project have been slow to integrate changes from downstream contributors, in addition to being heavily tied to the Launchpad infrastructure.

Cinnamon has typically been slow to integrate upstream changes and is extensively targeted toward / tied to the Linux Mint project.

To summarize the talking points raised in our latest Sundays with Solus:

Naturally, this opened the door for inquiries into the support of other desktop environments, such as Pantheon, XFCE, and so-forth.

Not only is MATE already based on GTK, but we’ll be shipping a full MATE experience enabled with GTK3.So why was MATE chosen? To summarize a few points mentioned throughout the Hackfests, as well as Sundays with Solus:

We will be providing MATE as an option for your desktop experience, as well as shipping a Solus MATE Edition alongside our primary, Budgie image, both of which are expected to next be available for Solus 1.2.1. On Friday we were happy to start our Solus Mystery Hackfest with a big announcement that builds upon the emphasizing we did in the previous This Week in Solus that we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Welcome to the 35th installation of This Week in Solus! Have you found your Sol-MATE?
