The question is rather: why is it so difficult to convince others of
these facts. If one main distribution included TDE, I'm sure many more
people would "rediscover" why KDE 3 was good.
Devuan would like to, but the build process would have to run in devuan CI
system. I never could wrap my mind around it how that would work with git
integration and all the knobs and buttons around it - and I think nobody
else did :)
On the other hand, devuan is not so major and exegnulinux does a good job,
IMO (I still have to figure out how to turn a customized installation back
to a bootable USB version with persistent home)
TDE will run on Devuan, I did it, but I really, really dislike its lead
developer’s attitude towards users, and hence will no longer recommend it to
anyone.
If you want a distribution that’s somewhat major, runs TDE, already has a
bootable USB version with persistent home, and has a helpful dev group, I’d
ask the MX Linux folks to include TDE.
