clean mate desktop

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi, what distro has a clean Mate desktop without own menus, etc? Ubuntu 
or Arch? Ubuntu has different panel / menus than Arch, which is 
original? Both of these has accessibility issues, Arch menu icon text in 
panel isn!t updated, for example Vlc media player accessibility icon 
stays on the first played song, system updater shows your system is up 
to date, but updates are awailable, the Ubuntu menu items are some 
without accessibility label. I want to track Mate development, but I 
don!t know, which distro to install.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Pavel
