The UKUI Desktop Environment is the continuation of MATE. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.

UKUI is under active development to add support for new technologies while preserving a traditional desktop experience.

This package depends on a very basic set of programs that are necessary to start a UKUI desktop environment session. The set of programs includes the UKUI file manager (Peony), the UKUI control center and a limited set of other obligatory UKUI desktop components.
