I've made to move to Rocky 8 after it was released and there is support
for MATE and if you prefer lightdm as a window manager. It has some
minor quirks, but all in all it works just fine.
I've not tried it yet but there is also a Rocky 9 MATE live image
available https://docs.rockylinux.org/en/guides/desktop/mate_installation/

ah, that's OK for now, as long as it works.
I'm trying to build up the courage to do a full system upgrade to
Rocky.latest. I hate doing upgrades, it's such a pain in the rear to get
everything working again, and get all my tweaks back into place. I despise
Gnome 3+, and prefer Mate. Someone (EPEL ??) built Mate for C7, but the
existing binaries for C8 don't work very well, there are none that I know
of for C9, and AFAIK Rocky is the only Centos clone that supports Mate.
there IS Ubuntu Mate, but I am more comfy with RH-derived systems.
One thing I won't have to do anymore is set up email (used to have my own
domain for email, but moved and can't get a static IP anymore, decided it
was too much bother to do the ddns thing) along with POP3 for my wife to
use. We now just use gmail.
But I see that the time for said upgrade is drawing nearer and nearer.

well, as one of the earlier posters showed how, I did remove the

like a charm!
Yes but that's the old version - 5.13.4.711 not the latest 5.13.7.683.
"Check for Updates" will tell you there's a new version but you'll be
stuck with that old version until you upgrade from CentOS 7 to
something newer.
