Hello,
If you want the desktop environment to be started automatically check that
systemd is configured to run in graphical environment
$> systemctl set-default graphical.target
If this is already setup, and you can launch your DE with startx, check also
that mate is the default DE with update-alternatives(8) or you can add the
startx command in /etc/profile.
That manpage was intriguing, if not educational. I went searching for
"update-alternatives tutorials". They all referenced Ubuntu and each
covered only one instance.
I'm looking for something that aims to answer "What can
update-alternatives do for me today?". IOW the manpage gives fine
details but no sense of perspective.
TIA
