Oh the irony... THE IRONY, IRONY!!
Another well researched article I see.
Code hacks like this should not be have left Timothy Pearson's house... Might be Enterprise ready in Redmond towers but no where else
Perhaps Michael meant "living dead"
Razor-Qt is where it is at for lightweight... Love how you can choose to run it on OpenBox or Kwin, etc. ...
Still would like to see the return of resizeable system tray icons to KDE 4.xx (perhaps - due to popular demand - in KDE 5.xx ???)

That was an insane decision - I do understand he wanted to port KDE3 to Qt4, but now it seems like it's a very tall order for just one person, programming interfaces are broken, and TDE is headed nowhere.
You can still compile legacy KDE3's unmodified applications with Trinity's QT3 and TDE libraries.
Originally posted by Sidicas View PostIt's nice, but they broke backwards compatibility with a lot of the older distro releases when the Trinity project got their hands on KDE 3.X.. That, IMO, was a mistake, as some people wanted to use older distros since their hardware's support got dropped and the binary blobs they were using depended on using older distros.
I would have been a very happy Trinity Desktop user if they kept backwards compatibility to a disto release that supported Catalyst 9.3..
The source code itselft is not "compatible" with specific distribution or a specific graphic driver. You can build it on any distribution you want ...
In fact, every distribution that can support KDE 3.5.10 can support TDE, the prerequisites are the same.

I e-mailed the founder of Trinity Desktop and he said exactly this:

the old versions of CMake and other libraries on that system.
Sorry I can't do much more to make this happen...Last edited by Sidicas; 11 September 2012, 08:45 AM.
