There are at least two projects developing MATE applications: - the MATE Desktop Environment project https://mate-desktop.org/ https://github.com/mate-desktop - the Ubuntu MATE project https://ubuntu-mate.org/ https://github.com/ubuntu-mate Respectively, MATE applications would arrive to Trisquel by one of these routes: - MATE Desktop Environment project → Debian → Ubuntu MATE → Trisquel - Ubuntu MATE → Trisquel However, so far, Guix only packages upstream applications directly: - MATE Desktop Environment project → Guix Do you mean that mate-tweak is missing? https://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-did-you-first-got-gnulinux#comment-174164 That application comes from Ubuntu MATE and is a fork of Mintdesktop. https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/mate-tweak It is not a part of MATE Desktop Environment. It was not packaged in Guix. Maybe, no one has strongly needed it in Guix yet? Roman
