I installed Trinity on my CachyOS and it runs smooth on it. I think it should be added as an official desktop environment and add it to the installer. Also it has a Frutiger Aero look as it is a fork of kde 3. A basic installwithout any bloatof it is just 500mb you can get a frutiger aero look at a low storage
Hello and welcome,
I think Trinity might not quite be popular enough for inclusion as an “official desktop environment” in any real sense, but who knows maybe some dev thinks different.
There is a guide here that users may reference though;
Not to mention that you need to add an external repo to install TDE.
Although I can see the appeal: from my experience it feels lighter than LXQt.
That’s an interesting term - ‘lighter’ might refer to using less than 500MB instead of a whole GB of RAM after booting, but I’m not sure how you ‘feel’ that.
Trinity has no compositing, no smooth scrolling, no window overview… However, unless you’re running 1GB RAM with a low cost core2duo processor from back in the day, those differences are likely to be completely invisible…
Isn’t it more like comparing old fashined (simple, static and non-animated) interfaces with ‘light’ - even when the annimation overhead is trivial.
Wouldn’t XFCE do that?
Just curious, as I never felt that KDE was in any way not ‘light’ or ‘100% fast’, it’s only limited by my monitor resolution/framerate.
