[arch-general] end of the war! Mate has come to archlinux...

It would appear that on Dec 9, fredbezies did say:

Pardon me for intruding on your discussion "fredbezies" but I really wish
people wouldn't assume that nouveau works for everyone...

My current desktop is a winxp error HP Pavilion with embedded Nvidia
GeForce 6150 LE for which the nouveau driver as supplied by Arch, Xubuntu,
Sabayon, and OpenSuSE gave me unstable console screen and absolutely no X
until I switched to the proprietary Nvidia drivers... I remember it
because I usually prefer open source stuff. But I'm less likely to willingly
try nouveau again than I'd be to go back to kde4... And that's saying
something because I've been using mostly E17 (or sometimes E16) ever since the
demise of kde3's UI sent me packing.  If for some reason I can't use E I fall
back on xfce. But from KDE{4} or gnome{any} I'll only use what I need to run
a few selected applications.

I'll admit I didn't try it with Fedora, But I gave up on them some time
ago...

Just an FYI...
