I finally created a Devuan VM. I installed KDE, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon. Everything is updated and seems to be working fine.
I populated apt sources.list per the wiki and downloaded the TDE signing key.
When I run the following command:
apt install tde-trinity
I receive the message:
The following packages will be REMOVED: desktop-base gnome-control-center
I did not install the GNOME desktop and don't care about gnome-control-center (probably a Cinnamon requirement). I do not know what removing desktop-base will do. Running "apt show desktop-base" reveals a description of "common files for the Devuan Desktop."
Is auto removing desktop-base safe? I want to retain all of the other desktop environments to see how TDE interacts in a mixed environment.
Second, I want to install every doggone TDE package possible. I never have experienced a full TDE and I want to see how everything functions. Running "apt search trinity" finds many packages. I don't know if "apt install tde-trinity" installs everything. My Debian Fu is horribly rusty and could use help proceeding.
Thanks.
