The future of Debian itself is in doubt (systemd fiasco, which affects all
other distros)
At the moment, TDE is gaining ground as just about the only fully-functional
DE out there for those of us who do not wish to run systemd. The only other
alternative seems to be openbox (a WM rather than a DE).
Here, a recompiled dbus has removed all systemd dependencies (although I
dont use the full TDE "meta"). I just got back "suspend" in TDE

I really don't have a clue about skype.
From reading various reports on systemd, I like the idea of a DE that
doesn't use it. Given the uncertainty about Debian, I might go to
using Gentoo, or look into the feasibility of using TDE in one of the
BSDs.
