If you like dark themed desktops and you like Mate, and you want a rich distribution without systemd this may be for you:
2 new MATE ISOs are available, a standard issue and a desktop edition, both with a nice, dark GTK theme. The desktop edition has a long list of extra software (see list below). Both live images use OpenRC but you can install the same with Runit.
These are marked as community ISOs, meaning they’re not officially supported like base and lxqt.

The desktop one is beefier and comes with a lot more packages, most important of which are:

This is a 2 desktop iso, lxqt and plasma. You boot and autologin on one, you logout to DM, switch DE and re-enter.
