gnome shell versus mate

[Christopher Chaltain]

I prefer Gnome myself. I like the dash, being able to add items to my 
favorites and the top bar to get to settings and things. That being 
said, I run Mate on my netbook since the interface is simpler and a bit 
less CPU and memory intensive. Mate also has the same look and feel as 
the old Gnome 2 interface, so if you're used to that, then you might 
prefer Mate. I'd suggest installing Vinux 5 and playing with Gnome, Mate 
and Unity. Once you decide which you like, you can just stick with it or 
install that flavor of Ubuntu.
