Obviously the factor how shiny something is, is more important than how stable something is. But hey this mentality is spilled all over the place and it sucks. There is no way to argue, because the people carring this mentality are usually uneducated and uncultured. They write for same highly uneducated and uncultured readers. It is becoming a religion. And so Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. TDE is open for those who seek the truth. I am using one 13". I use it with 1920x1080 resolution. Why should I use it with higher resolution is unclear. Most of the time tdenetworkmanager handles the connections properly. I had only once an issue with a network in one hotel somewhere. For some reason it could not get the IP address properly while Windows on the same PC could handle it. What I am missing is the option to use tdenetworkmanager to utilize the SIM slot (internet via LTE). I have it on the todo. So yes, TDE has limitation - may be the biggest one that it is not really designed to run on a laptop. It is very challenging to maintain the code, because of the lack of people and time, although in the past few years there are many developers that joined and there are significant improvements. (I am writing this as an observer and not officially approved to make statements in the name of TDE) I joined the team because I do not have too much money to infest in supporting the project, but I have allocated some hours per year to do this or that for the project. I wish I had more to offer. BR
