    I'm curious how this compares to LXQt in terms of: community (activity), resource consumption and wayland compatibility.

      I'm a big advocate of "do what you want with your time until it hurts others" but these projects are so useless.

        Looks pretty good. There has not been much development in desktop aesthetics in a long time. And for a time things went backwards, actually starting with windows 8 (or windows mobile) and others started copying the dumbed down style.

          This looks so good. I'm wondering where Michael got the notation that this is well supported in BSD land, last I heard it wasn't but that was a long time ago, maybe things have changed? I'm not seeing Trinity in the openbsd ports.

            Now the maintainer(s) of this project find it useful, apparently.

            They may consider you calling their effort "useless" to be hurtful remark.

              Cool, but I think Linux market share would be better if the developers of Trinity and LXQT would join KDE ones and work on products developed by KDE organization!
              Linux has too many desktop environments and a lot of them support too few features and have too many unresolved bugs.
              This gives a really bad impression of Linux to new users, from which I bet a significant part will just go back to Windows and also tell people that Linux sucks.

                Linux has got enough users frankly.

                  They obviously don't want to, or aren't interested in the direction KDE went.

                  Those are clearly your personal concerns. I'm a linux user since the 90s, and I don't care about any of that.

                    Keramik is still my favorite visual style. Created this skin for Opera back in the day to have it match my DE https://store.kde.org/p/1005753/

                    I'd be tempted to use TDE solely to have Keramik back hah

                    I know I'm a minority there, it barely lasted one minor release of KDE3 back in the day before Plastik took over and Oxygen then Breeze from there. There is no modern port of Keramik at all, so the people have voted. If I ever find myself with the sort of excess time I had back then to pound that round peg into the square hole of Opera skins, maybe I'd port it to newer Qt. Life though..
