How to install a GUI in Amazon Linux 2023 ?

2

Amazon Linux 2 supports MATE, or at least makes it possible to install it.

Is there a repo Amazon Linux 2023 can connect to for adding extras ?

I KNOW about how to do it on Amazon Linux 2.

This question is about Amazon Linux 2023.

Bellow is the same kind of question as here.

It's a very interesting question you have and I apologize if this doesn't correctly answer it upfront. I checked the support documentation for AL2023 and it doesn't appear to support GUI.

Amazon Linux 2023 is cloud-centered and optimized for Amazon EC2 usage and currently does not include a graphical or desktop environment.

I found a reference to MATE in the AL2023 version comparison and the release notes though which is interesting.
