Linux Mint 17.3 "Rosa" Mate (32-bit)

This long-term support version of Linux Mint, built on Debian and Ubuntu, features the Mate v1.12 desktop. The "Rosa" Desktop Settings offer multiple window managers, including Marco, Metacity, Xfwm4, Openbox, and Compiz. The Compton compositing manager is configured to prevent screen tearing. Two new commands show information about which window/compositing managers are running (wm-detect) and allow you to recover the default window manager (wm-recovery).
