Do you mean TDE rather than KDE? or maybe KDE3?

TDE is blows away all the other DEs, so they can't ignore us for much longer. > - and whether you had trouble installing and running TDE. I upgraded from Devuan Jessie directly to Devuan Beowulf (skipping over Ascii), so that seemed to cause some minor problems, but after a few weeks of patient care, it is pretty near perfect. Debian/Devuan take a bit of bother to get them running how we want, but once configured, they are very stable and dependable, so it's worth the trouble. So my vote is clearly for Devuan, no-systemd, at least for now. As a rule, the easier a distro is to run "out of the box", the less configurable it will be. There are several distros that offer TDE as a default choice (Q4OS, Exegnulinux, and others). Also, both Nik and Michael have created TDE distros for testing: ISO: https://github.com/zwieblum/devuan-images/releases/download/2020.11.02/snapshot-20201102_1128.iso SHA256: https://github.com/zwieblum/devuan-images/releases/download/2020.11.02/snapshot-20201102_1128.iso.sha256 https://sourceforge.net/projects/michaels-devuan-edition/files/ Bill > > Thanks in advance. > > > > Steve ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
