The Welcome help handbook says the following:
TDE is a graphical desktop environment for UNIX® workstations. The Trinity Desktop Environment combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and professional graphical design along with the technical advantages of the UNIX® operating system.
The underlying KDE3 source code supported many Unix-like Operating systems. Are we still supporting anything other than Linux based systems?
I want to make the handbook statement technically correct. "Unix and Unix-like" systems? "Unix, Unix-like, and Linux based" systems?

TDE is theoretically capable of working on Unix-like systems, though I don't think that has been tested for some time. There was some interest from at least one user of FreeBSD, but I haven't heard anything recently on that front.
Linux is definitely the platform of choice for most TDE users, and the TDE codebase will receive the most testing and support on that platform as a result.

Technically it would have to be GNU/Linux or even just GNU. Trinity is more dependent on the GNU system than on the Linux kernel.
