You have to install Ubuntu first, any flavor will work. Then run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop right down to linux 7.0 and Mate 1.28.2

The only thing I noticed it that it doesn't load Plank on startup, an easy fix.

Good evening, everyone, from northwest Ohio. I upgraded my Ubuntu-mate system from 25.10 to 26.04, using sudo apt dist-upgrade, from the mate terminal. I also have Kubuntu installed. The upgrade went smoothly, except for the kubuntu-desktop package. The dependency apt is complaining about is libstd1 being less than 1.5.8. I tried to use app reinstall, but get a report that is not downloadable. I also tried downloading from the launchpad site, but it is not a DEP package. How can I fix this LIBZSTD1 dependency, so I can get Kubuntu-desktop to install? Thanks much for your help in advance.
