UKUI is a lightweight desktop environment for Ubuntu Kylin. It provides a simpler and more enjoyable experience for browsing, searching, and managing your computer. UKUI is a fork of mate desktop environment, so the packages are also forks from those of mate. We have rewrote the main user interfaces and changed the conflicts between UKUI and mate. We have checked that UKUI can coexist with mate and has no effects on other packages.
