[$] Trinity keeps KDE 3 on life support

Post Syndicated from jzb original https://lwn.net/Articles/973130/

As the shiny new KDE Plasma 6 desktop makes its way into distribution
releases, a small group of developers is still trying to preserve the
KDE experience circa 2008. The Trinity Desktop Environment
(TDE), is a continuation of KDE 3 that has maintained the
old-school desktop with semi-regular releases since 2010. The most
recent release, R14.1.2,
was announced
on April 28. TDE does deliver a usable retro desktop, but with
some limitations that hamper its usability on modern systems.
