Many said TDE would be dead within a year.
Now, it's gaining ground to the point, I think, that some are nervous.
And many swore new KDE will work with just few upgrades - it was 10y ago.
G. time flies by!

it took a while to get my KDE desktop looking and
behaving right; which in
any case, is never very good.
I like to keep another desktop on my system, so that I can always boot up
into
the other desktop, if I am having problems specific to
TDE. I think LXDE
works better than KDE, but KDE has programs that are sometimes more
compatible with TDE.
Every time I use the new KDE Plasma, I get so frustrated that I want to
break
something. The same goes for whenever I have to use
other people's
computers,
especially if they run Windoze or the rotten Apple;
and it's even worse when
I have to use a public computer.
The only thing that worries me is that I am becoming my own island, which is
maybe not so good. I am thinking maybe of running a virtual box inside my
Linux machine, in which I can run Windoze or the rotten Apple or some other
Linux OS, just to keep up a little with changes that are going on "out
there".
Thank the Goddess for TDE! I believe I would have given up on computers
altogether, if not for Trinity.

Bill,
I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have to work with crackmonkey clients. Both
itblows and snapple. They keep saying how there's SO much more software for
them and yet none of it is useful. Just games. Useless file managers (all
hail Konqueror, which is aptly named) and the CLI (via konsole).
I do like to run different distros but I only use one for work. Currently Ark
Linux 2008 and Ali's BigDaddy. I'm hoping to retire Ark for BigDaddy or
Slackware if and when TDE makes it there. I hope to gain enough skill to do
it meself.
Cheers and happy father's day to all,
Kate

I doubt that TDE will ever make an official entry in Slackware
nonetheless some people have made build scripts or even packages.
Here are some:
- http://www.giustetti.net/wiki/index.php?title=TDE_introduction
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/tde-slackware
- https://github.com/Ray-V/tde-slackbuilds
- http://www.inpito.org/trinity.php
I do have my own scripts but everything is installed
in /usr/{bin,lib64} and I don't know if they conflict with KDE (which
is not installed...)
cheers.

Hi Slávek,
Do you intend to provide slackware packages based on ray vine's work or
in collaboration with him?

I have been using a Windows 10 Pro laptop to avoid potential hassles
with the college system and have gotten some modest acquaintance with
it; it's also fun to tool around with a different OS.
the impression I get is one is better able to use features of
some brand-name printers. this may be useful depending on one's needs.
I haven't taken much advantage of it.
I find the privacy settings pretty obscure and I am bedevilled by the
automatic upgrades; I find the lack of control abominable -- 'my' PC
my butt! I have been able to block 'features updates' with some
regedit magic.
I do like to run different distros but I only use one
for work. Currently Ark

never heard of 'BigDaddy' -- fitting for the day! unlike you, I guess
I'm kind of monogamous when it comes to Linux. don't do much with the
'desktop' anyway except launch applications.

Got an Epson photo printer here (mostly for the family). There *is* software
for Linux but the results are not good. If you want to print a decent picture
you have to print form Mac or Windows.
That's about the last thing I can't use Linux for, since kdenlive (almost)
replaces Premiere.

Or if you movie camera is one of the better Sony's using digital hi-8
metal tape, its interface is firewire, and kino is the editor of choice.
Why? Because the camera controls are right in the program and they just
work.
kdenlive in another 10 years with help from the same author has never
grown those controls. All you need is a firewire card, and kino, and you
can hand the customer a stack of video cd's or dvd's to put with their
other memorabilia, and pass out to kinfolks.
