> I installed Cygwin and was hoping to do what I did a long time ago which is to have an actual mate desktop as an alt desktop.  The XFCE desktop seems to work but not mate.  I also seem to not be able to install the mate-session-manager due to a missing python gtk-2.0 dependency.  Is this expected or is there a fix?  I have been using Linux-only desktops/laptops since 2005 (Fedora Core 6 and was able to stop all use of a win VM "fallback" after 2010) and have supported Linux and other infra items (Cisco, SAN, NAS, VMware, RHV, RHEL, etc.) since 2002 but have zero DEV skills outside of bash, puppet, and Ansible with Jinja2.  I would like to help with packages where I can but need a zero dev experience DOC on getting started.  If I could install a web browser that runs within Cygwin (and maybe VScode but suspect that isn't possible?) in a Cygwin MATE desktop native environment that would be ideal.

Any help with how (or if it is even possible) to set VScode up with Cygwin in the form on Links to review and learn greatly appreciated!

Looks like Cygwin MATE has been ORPHANED with no maintainer for years, as are 
the Qupzilla and Midori (bit more recent) browsers, which I can run under 
Cygwin-X (install xinit).

Have you looked to see if any flavour under M$ W[ea]S[e]L ;^> offers something 
you can integrate?
