Where to make feature requests for the Ubuntu MATE Team
772
I want to remove the Ubuntu MATE Welcome program, this is not useful as this is a single user installation. And no new or guest users will use the computer.
Meanwhile, you know you can tell Welcome not to open by unchecking the box bottom right of it Open Welcome when I Log On:
You'll never see it again :)
Don't try to remove it with apt though:
$ sudo apt remove ubuntu-mate-welcome -s
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
ubuntu-mate-desktop ubuntu-mate-welcome

Asking how to achieve something in MATE - like disabling a feature - should be done at the forum, but since your title has "feature requests", I thought I'd address that for future readers. Definitely do NOT ask for new features, or improvements on current features, in the general Support & Help Requests section of the forum - your pleas will fall on deaf ears, because it's simply not the place to post development requests (it's a user help forum, after all). There is a Development Discussion section at the community forum, as well as Thoughts & Feedback, but since the developers may not even be looking there, I would suggest the project's Launchpad page, and their GitHub one, too. You will often see requests in Thoughts & Feedback being answered with "please file this feature request at GitHub", so it's worth having an account there if you want to get active in making the distribution better.
I'm pretty sure the best place to take your request is the Ubuntu MATE community forum, specifically the feedback thread. There are a lot of feature requests there.
