You can user other Desktop environments other than default MATE Desktop. There are several ways as below:

   live-task-cinnamon --> Cinnamon Desktop
   live-task-gnome --> GNOME Desktop
   live-task-kde --> KDE Desktop
   live-task-lxde --> LXDE Desktop
   live-task-lxqt --> LXQt Desktop
   live-task-xfce --> Xfce Desktop
   For example, run the following command to install cinnamon:
   sudo apt install live-task-cinnamon

2. Use Tasksel
   This is a typical Debian way to install Desktop.
   Run the command below as root from MATE Terminal:
   apt install tasksel
   Then, run tasksel as root
   tasksel

3. As for Live Desktops based on MX Linux, use MX PakageInstaller --> Desktop Environments
   It will show a list of Desktops: Budgie, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, Sugar, etc.
