Nowadays, if I must use another desktop for the

say that either the XFCE slim desktop or the MATE desktop are preferable,
as they seem to interfere less than KDE. But after that, I use only TDE.
Felix Miata has his own method of installing TDE only by a shell, but that
takes some dedication and work;
There are many ways to avoid complications depending on how skilled one is.
My preferred way to do it is to use debootstrap. After base system is
installed chroot, configure and install trinity desktop. This you can do
from a standard debian live image and you can apply to local hard disk, usb
or whatever your target is. I have noted 6 main steps with some actions ...
so in total would be like 17-18 steps to have a USB bootable with debian
and TDE. The TDE itself is only two steps - 1. add the apt source, 2.
update and install. The best way to find out is to try in a virtual
machine.
