In regards to Nik's post about The Orgins of KDE:

I am curious to know what's the backstory on TDE?
Why is KDE 3.5 being kept alive all of these years later?
And what is TDE's Purpose?

I LOOOOOOOVED KDE 3.5 back in the day, but , I could never get KDE 3 to work right on my machine, like making it see the CDROM etc.
But, when I found GNOME2 on Ubuntu 10.10 that became my home, then Unity, and KDE 5 for a little while, TDE for about a week, and MATE for the longest. And now im back to trying TDE.

The reason that I asked this question yesterday, is because, I LOVED KDE 3, but i'm scared to run TDE.

I've been reading on Reddit about TDE and read about how NO Linux distro will carry TDE because its a liability

due to some kind of " Internet Stacks" still using KDE 3 code, and how unsafe it is, and how running TDE would be like

connecting a Windows 98 PC to the internet without a firewall etc.
