Are there plans to get TDE out of /opt and back into /usr?
The topic was discussed a decade ago:
https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1934
For the past year or so that I have tried to return to TDE, I keep
running into nuance issues. Things that motivate me to avoid TDE. Most
of these speed bumps are caused by environment variables, mostly XDG
related. I remember at the time everybody working on starttde trying to
anticipate the many ways living in /opt could break and to avoid
conflicts with KDE.
My guess is many TDE users do not see these issues because they do not
have a multi-user system with multiple desktop environments installed.
Likely many to most TDE users are like other DE users -- just stick to
familiar territory and ignore other DEs and potential conflicts.
I think the easiest approach is renaming binaries with a tde- prefix.
The MATE folks did this many years ago and continue the convention.
I do not have a full TDE install, but on my system I found 30 files in
/opt/trinity/bin that have the same file name in KDE. I know there are
more because, for example, I do not have tdegames installed.
Anyway, just curious, nothing else.
Thanks.
