Has anyone put TDE/Trinity on Manjaro? If so, what is the correct way to do it?

Thanks, Glen

Man Who?

Distro Watch is good for promoting new distros, but I don't put much stock in their opinions because they are, after all, in the business of promotion.

Popularity ain't everything. But if popularity matters, then I would guess Ubuntu, even if it is not the most deserving.

Hello Bill, All I am new to this project, but I am also really happy to see a viable alternative to heavyweight and complex DEs.

I am using TDE/Trinity on Mint 19 (Tara). Everything works fine, just some minor issues. For example in some applications: /usr/bin/pkexec driver-manager returns a polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie ==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ===

Do you have noticed similar problems or is just me?

Also CPU load is always over 20% even at idle state, is that normal. I am using R14.0.5 on a FX6350 / 8GB Ram

Best, Vasileios

Besides the fact that their ranking seems only based on visit count to their own web site (so it actually means, if true, that Manjaro users are more eager than others to visit Distrowatch - that I actually never visited before reading your mail), Manjaro is a rolling distribution. Does this not make TDE more difficult to install?

To me it sounds like the next millenials crap that comes out. Just look at chapter 3. Don’t Have to Worry About PPAs and 4. Tons of Software.

My question is who is sponsoring those projects and most important why.

Right on. More packages available than in Debian? Somebody has been drinking the Kool-Aid. If you choose a distro that promises to be easy and user-friendly, you might end up with something that isn't much better than Windoze and the rotten Apple.

You know, when I first got into Linux (15+ years ago?), I tried out more distros than I can remember; at least 20 or 30. Knoppix, PC Linux, all the 'buntus, Q4OS, Kali Linux, ExeGNU Linux, Slackware and several variants, Puppy Linux, Zen Linux. I still try out new distros now and again, because you never know, and it's good to have options. So I wouldn't discourage anybody from trying out new things, but don't believe everything you read or hear.

Burn some live discs. Try them all, if you can afford to spend a little money on CDs and DVDs (and you can even put them on flash drives!).
