I was a long-time user of KDE 3 , tried the KDE 4.x desktop once, took another look at Fluxbox & found it a good enough substitute & have been using it ever since. At that time, it looked as if KDE 3 would disappear altogether: Trinity hadn't started.
KDE v3.x was my de jour until it went away. I remember with particular fondness the compatability with Compiz and transparent panels that could slide away completely out of view. I couldn't do the later in GNOME, there was always at least a bar of 1 pixel's thickness on the edge. Maybe I never dug deeply enough to know :(
Used GNOME until v3 was being pushed around. I know Gentoo hasn't pushed it yet, but I'd been using Arch when it happened, and it completely foobar'd my work set up. I quit Arch and GNOME on the same day. Gentoo + Fluxbox as well, here. =)
As a Gentoo user since 2003, I'm on the fringe of Linux orthodoxy, but like other Gentoo users, I would never go back to a binary distro: the freedom to install just what I want & configure it how I want is much too important for comfort & for productivity.
Any chance there's a Trinity supporter prepared to make it available for Gentoo ?
I'm building a cross compiler factory from various sources to support my Yeeloong 8101_B. I have some Raspberry Pi coming, so x86, x86_64, and ARM support are going to be included at some point, too.
Although desktop environments are going to be part of a separate related project, I'm looking at MATE and Trinity to be the forerunners there, too.
Until then, maybe this will help Gentooians ;) http://wiki.hasnoname.de/tde:trinity-overlay_on_funtoo_gentoo
