It is available with "zypper in patterns-mate-mate" but it no longer works.
The screen blinks every 2 seconds and the window menu is missing from every opened window.
I have a bugzilla opened on that - it worked perfectly in the alpha 15.5 but does not in 15.5.

The Alpha version of 15.5 had MATE desktop as a choice. MATE is no longer offer nor is Cinnamon in 15.5. Some say MATE is stale - I say it is Mature, Stable, and relative bug free - what you want for a stable computer environment.
I still see mate in 15.5's inherited packages (from backports). So maybe it was only eliminated from the install media due to size constraints...
I assume you can add an online repo during installation and install both mate and cinnamon. (Or install after bootup.)
et al:
I'm running Gecko MATE rolling this morning and in YaSt listings for search "mate" "patterns-mate-mate" is not checked as installed, but "mate-desktop" is . . . . F
