mate is not in the repos, thus, not officially supported. nothing about
ubuntustudio should prevent you from using mate if you want. i would refer
to documentation for adding/using mate in ubuntu, since ubuntustudio *is*
ubuntu.. and let us know how it goes.. should be fine, and totally
unsupported.. as a potentially relevant side-note, cinnamon is in the
repos..
