I don't have any smartphone. Due to elderly eyes, a laptop screen is 
barely large enough. Normally I use a 17" monitor.

I connect the Linkzone via USB. I have disabled its WiFi as I've not 
spent the time to understand how to have secure WiFi and in any case I 
only use one machine at a time.

After doing power off/on on both the laptop and Linkzone everything 
worked. I now have the desired minimal MATE DE.

For anyone reading this thread, my request for suggested reading stands.

Thanks.
