Yeah, they continue to add new features that weren’t present in KDE 3 too, in a manner that remains true to KDE 3’s iconic look and feel. They post about these new features on their Mastodon, and write in depth about them in their release notes.

They also port and maintain old community-made themes, mods, and applications as official packages, which is something I really appreciate even though I didn’t use it back then.

My favorite thing about using *Nix and FOSS in general is that we can not only preserve it’s history through forks, but immortalize it. If you want to keep the experience and workflow you enjoy, you simply can. Using Linux with Trinity is like having Windows XP but it’s still receiving (and will for the foreseeable future) actually good feature updates, security updates, bugfixes, and access to current software and hardware.

• I’m really not sure what they’re planning for Wayland at the moment (if anything), but one of the plus sides is that it isn’t too dependent on it’s default window manager, and I was even able to run most parts of it via XWayland under Wayfire with only a handful of issues that probably wouldn’t be too hard to resolve in the future (e.g. multiple desktops on kdesktop).

• Initially, I suppose it was just to provide an option for people who weren’t happy with KDE 4. These days, I’d consider the main benefits to be a nice way to have an old school UX for those who prefer that, and excellent performance on aging hardware. (In some ways the UX still outdoes KDE 5/6 IMO, such as TDE’s version of Konqueror being a much more capable file manager than the current versions, or the highly configurable power manager.)

• It uses a fork of Qt3, TQt.

• This will vary from distro to distro, but I have it using just a little over 100 MB of RAM on a cold boot with MX on my ThinkPad X200T, and practically no idle CPU usage.

trinity because it’s lighter than almost everything else while having more features than almost everything else

why is it always the .world users

It’s a PDF file from a .gov website. Are you fucking dumb?

🤓

Trinity is criminally underrated. Compared to modern lightweight desktop environments (XFCE, MATE, LXQt, etc.), it’s far more feature-complete and in spite of that it manages to run lighter than any of them.

you haven’t encountered very many actual leftists, have you?

edit: you’re a lot closer to being one of those republicans you hate so much than any leftist who wants to hold both of your war-mongering parties accountable for their role in a genocide btw

“any opposition to our guy must be from republicans and republicans are 100% bad therefore our guy’s genocide is 100% good” -you, apparently

lmao the people calling him genocide joe are not republicans, if the original post somehow didn’t make that very clear to you already

what a reddit-brained reply

Those of you who think the problem is data scraping or whatever are totally missing the point. All profit-motivated social media platforms engage in promoting hate content for engagement, and in doing so have deadly real world consequences. The Fediverse is one of the few online spaces where people can just be themselves naturally without being manipulated by algorithms. Given their history, there’s no reason to assume Threads won’t be any better about handling their own community, and anything that happens with them will affect the rest of us.

What’s with Lemmy users doing free advertising for corporate social media like this? You’re already here, so you should know better, right?

Two things that are more American than apple pie. But sure, it’s all because of those damn foreigners!
