Or, it could be, he is a TDE purist: Thou shalt have no other desktops besides Trinity! At some point in the future, I would like to become a member of this second group, because other desktops don't play nicely, and leftover garbage from every one of them have caused me problems, large and small. But it is easier for me install Devuan using the mate or xfce desktops. Then, too, there are persons who actually *like* to try out other desktops, and (so I have heard) seem to think that KDE4/5 and Plasma and the Gnomes and such are actually "good"; which puzzles me, but I accept that they know what they like, even if they do like krap. It is not for me to judge them. :-} Bill ____________________________________________________ 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
