Mint Linux offers MATE as a standard desktop. That will probably be the winner as it has a long term version.
Over the next year I will be converting 145 OpenSUSE 15.4 running MATE to Mint Linux unless you can convince me that MATE is coming.
This is openSUSE, no one here should be pressured/demanded/bullied into developing anything, or convincing you that anything will be developed. Leap 15.5 will be a product of what the community builds, and is provided 'as is without warranty of any kind' (quoting our license) That said, "the community" can include you.... so.... should we all reinterpret this mail as you stepping up to help maintain MATE in Leap going forward? Your 145 openSUSE 15.4 installation make it sound like you have a healthy justification to encourage your contribution to our collective efforts. I think it would be more effective than ranting on a mailinglist trying to make us feel bad we all don't provide what you want for free.
