I totaly agree, too.
TDE has been my one and only everyday desktop environment for many years.
What I like the most is its small footprint and so high customization
capabilities (see the screenshot :-).
I upgrade the OS using the TDE LiveCD on a new partition and then
re-install the programs I use all the time and copy the personal data
from the previous release.
When all is running as I want, I delete the previous partition.
I did this many times without any glitch for years.
I love the Baghira theme and kooldock utility. I build them from release
to release smoothly without any glitch.
I speak of TDE to all Linux users I meet and do my best to propagate its
usage.
I tried many DE's during my long programmer life: nothing beats Trinity
in term of configuration.
Long life to TDE!
TDE is not really for the nostalgic of KDE3,
but made for those who want a light desktop,
and nevertheless, with many rich options.
I totaly agree. However I think many on
this list are "experienced" computer
users (I mean "old" :).
We come from a time where computer ressources were scarce (few hundred KB of
RAM, few Megabytes of harddisk - if any haddisk at all). What we wanted - and
still look for - was efficency and stability.
Modern geeks want screen effects, animations, videos instead of reading text
files, "wizards" instead of learning how to do things. Any program that has
not been "updated" for a few month is considered "unmaintained" on
Android.
So a Desktop environment that seems to have stayed the same for 10 years is
for "nostalgic" people.
I belong to those who are proud of knowing the value of things. I could run
a "modern" DE on my computers, but why? TDE gives me everything I need, and
Konqueror.
The question is rather: why is it so difficult to convince others of these
facts. If one main distribution included TDE, I'm sure many more people
would "rediscover" why KDE 3 was good.
