For the people who doesn't get it (I notice your /s, so you do get it): It's has a hidden joke. Mate can also mean "friend". So "Welcome to Linux Mint mate!" can mean two things at the same time. Hence my reply: "Maybe Cinnamon mate!", where "Cinnamon" refers to "Linux Mint Cinnamon", but mate just refers to friend/buddy. But Mate can also mean MATE, a classic desktop environment for Linux Mint.
Oh haha, didn't realise that pun was intended... But yeah thats right :)
