The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the new TDE R14.0.0 release. The Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software.

Unlike previous releases TDE R14.0.0 has been in development for over two years. This extended development period has allowed us to create a better, more stable and more feature-rich product than previous TDE releases. R14 is brimming with new features, such as a new hardware manager based on udev (HAL is no longer required), full network-manager 0.9 support, a brand new compositor (compton), built-in threading support, and much more!

    Linux is free if your time is worthless

    Yeah, well Windows is pretty damn expensive in time as well. Can't tell you the number of times I've had to copy files onto the Unix systems at work in order to get stuff done, because even the simplest tasks are goddamn impossible on a Windows system. How do you do basic manipulation of a 500+ meg pipe-delimited text file in Windows for example? No grep, no sed, no awk, uniq, sort...and text editors crash just trying to open the damn thing! A single text-only SSH session to a *nix system is more valuable to me than an entire Windows workstation.

    Its called Powershell [microsoft.com], been around for over a decade now, and its trivial to extend to do anything you want with cmdlets, not that you'll actually need to because its created with input from fortune 500 companies so pretty much all the basic use cases you can come up with? they'l have already thought of and had built in.

    Don't blame Windows for you not bothering to use the tools that are right there and built for the task at hand, hell you can even run bash on Windows if that floats your boat, so there really is no excuse other than you just haven't bothered to learn how to use the tools you have been handed...now who's fault is that?
