Scorpion + MATE

Just a observation; not a criticism
I've updated Orion to Scorpion - it seems slower.
I've installed a new Scorpion - it still seems slower than Orion.

On another tack, I use MATE on Q4OS and have been getting a message at shutdown regarding "at-spi-registryd.desktop not responding".
The main way people seem to stop this happening is by either renaming the files in /usr/lib/at-spi-core or by making them non-executable.
I have found that moving /etc/xdg/autostart/at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop to a "disabled" subdirectory achieves the same object without a slowdown in booting.

Re: Scorpion + MATE

You mean Orion with Mate is faster than Scorpion with Mate?
I use XFCE and TDE and so far on my hardware Scorpion is slightly faster but definitely not slower. I use both 32/64bit installs on a variety of hardware.

Older hardware that would definitely be the case as Scorpion will not perform as well.

Mate is a bit heavier than either XFCE or TDE but still one of my favorites.

Re: Scorpion + MATE

Yes, that's about it. I'm really more impressed with MATE than with TDE. Cheers. And more impressed with Q4OS than a lot of others. However I'm also looking at antiX + MATE - no systemd!

Re: Scorpion + MATE

I use both systemd and nonsystemd distros and my overall experience has been pretty equal with few problems.  I still use Mate with another distro and it continues to improve.  TDE is very young and reminds me of the days when Mate launched and there were many growing pains.
