There are admitted problems in the MATE image. This post is one way of reducing the image size to make it fit on an 8GiB SD. The WiFi problem fixes are proposed for July. If you are going to modify the image you should also move the ext4 partition to 139264 (a 4MiB Erase Block boundary).

Thank you! :-) Only... This solution assumes you're already running some flavour of Linux on the Pi or elsewhere. How can those folks who currently don't have a running Linux instance, but are stuck in Windows or MacOS, accomplish the same result? Much obliged!
