In theory, it should be similar. MATE is too bloated & slow on these old
computers I'm using. If Mint still had an LXDE edition, I'd add TDE to
that. Since that no longer exists, I'll add TDE to Mint XFCE. A Mint TDE
live DVD would be better, but creating & maintaining that is beyond my
skill level. Thanks everybody for your advice.
Cheers

Thanks, everybody. Good to know. Mint KDE is my
main distro, & I use
TDE
on my really old computers.
I've had better luck with things Just Working when I install a distro
with
TDE already included. When I add TDE later,
I've had a lot of problems.
However, I like Mint so much, I'm going to try installing Mint XFCE, then
adding TDE. Wish me luck!
That works well. If you once like Mint!!! Well, I did it after Mint and
MATE. But I don't suppose that it is very different.

Thanks, again.
