https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Fedora_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instructions provides great instructions for installing TDE on a working Fedora 37 system. But the last section provides no help for starting TDE from a "run-level 3" system (multi-user, not graphical). The built-in startx command does not detect TDE. Or, more specifically, the /etc/sysconfig/desktop script. Of course, I can modify that script but I have no idea what to add to it. It would be nice if the TDE installation provided an updated version.
You probably need to point something at the starttde script. My .xinitrc just contains
/usr/trinity/14/bin/starttde
and TDE starts reliably when I run startx. I have no idea what distro-specific wrinkles Fedora may have added, though (and the path to the script will probably be different for you).
