Dear Lei,
I already try :
Ubuntu Mate (no problem), Xubuntu (no problem), Ubuntu (standard) (I had
problem with coot due to unity desktop).
Also alternatively : Mageia5 (no problem), Manjaro (python3 as default
in environment create some difficulty for several Macromolecular X-ray
soft).
In my opinion your choice is one of the more reliable.
Most of the time the problem doesn't come form the OS, but more from the
interaction between the OS and your graphic-card.
And in your case that's precisely what is critical (since you want 3D in
a good condition). Ubuntu works well with numbers of hardware
configuration especially if you activate the proprietary repository in
the packet manager.
I used for a long time Xubuntu without any issues and was very happy
with it. CCP4 and other soft are perfectly packed for this OS.

Hi All,
I am asking if anyone used Ubuntu Mate operating system and is this
system good for Pymol and Coot 3D?
