say:
Dear TDE list
I have used tde for some time now, but mainly on desktops. I
standardise on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS version but unfortunately the
desktop version comes bundled with a desktop that takes ugly to new
levels and does not offer multiple desktops,
Being a Debian user I have noticed that many of the dynamic network
elements such as wireless tools don't get installed with the server,
only with the desktop initial installation.
That said, when installing TDE I am given a choice to use either
the "lightdm" login manager standard package by default,
or "tdm-trinity". Setting to "tdm-trinity" and the TDE desktop means
not seeing whatever default desktop was installed the first time.
I know Ubuntu does some things very differently, but most of the
plumbing remains Debian.
Can you try "dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity" and see if you have a
choice to set tdm-trinity as the default login, from which you can
choose TDE as the desktop?
At least that way you could do the desktop Ubuntu install and get all
the good bells and whistles that come with that, and still not use
the default ugly desktop.
Curt-
P.S., I've been careful to buy only Intel graphic systems recently,
avoiding the nouveau/nvidia morass entirely, so I cannot help there.
