My Christmas wish for this year is the same as last year (if Santa reads the mailing list); which is a Devuan netinstall CD with TDE offered as a default choice. There are ways TDE could be installed using the netinstall CD, but it would require my adding the sources.list manually, from the command-line; or, I could specify the location of my own TDE packages, but my present setup would make that option too cumbersome. So for now, I install using Mate, and install TDE (as well as Open Office) from within Mate, which is the least irksome of other DEs. In any case, I can put up with a few minor bugs or issues, as I could never have kept patience with using another desktop. And if I had to keep using the newer KDE Plasma krap, I would probably have given up on using computers altogether, and instead I would now be living in a cave somewhere up in the mountains.
