Re: Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.9 Release Notes
#2Super cool people maintain and expand things like KDE 3 and Gnome 2 (Trinity, Mate)!
However personally I don't feel the need anymore. Gnome 3 and KDE 4 are both quite usable. Which is a stark contrast from when Gnome 3 and KDE 4 came out. They were both nothing more then glorified beta's. The first release of Gnome 3 was basically like the first Windows 10 release with the Metro UI; Totally unusable. Not that surprising since both Gnome 3 and Win 10 were created on a "tablet first" (or at least "tablet prominent") mindset.

I think you're talking about win8, win10 was a return to saner defaults on desktop (ui-wise, let's not talk about privacy): start menu, by example.

I use Mate and I think it's misleading to characterize it as a reheated Gnome 2. That's how it started, but the project has come a long way since then. Mate now uses GTK3 instead of GTK2. It supports GPU-accelerated compositing and Hi-DPI displays. Mate is a well-maintained modern desktop environment, not a historical curiosity.

Meh, depends on what you define as usable. KDE 3 ran fluently on my 2010 HP EliteBook 8540w but KDE 4 runs like a dog and you get nothing extra for it.

Did you mean KDE Plasma 5? Plasma 4 was comparatively short-lived (and arguably, far from perfect).

It also plays nicely with tiling WMs; you can replace the default with i3 or Awesome or whatever and enjoy mate-settingsd and having a nice GTK3 panel that looks nice, but also tiling windows.

#8I see the Plasma team decided to keep the old ugly designs. Look at that Trinity Control Center window. More than a decade after and everything still feels the same.

Doesn't really look the same to me, except that it uses the standard desktop widgets such as buttons, radio buttons, etc.

#10That's the ugliest GUI I have seen in a while. 1995 was 25 years ago.
