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!

    The nice part about using the taskbar to manage window decorations was the ability to turn them back on again easily. It is nice you can turn off decorations from the title bar, but if it's the title bar I'm temporarily hiding for that window it can really complicated, frustrating, etc. to bring it back. And maybe things are better now with KDE but for years I struggled with KDE 4. It feels like getting food poisoning 4 times at a restaurant and then having the head chef mad at you for not giving it another chance.

    My ability to whip up scripts to deal with the window decorations is just not feasible. I am a math teacher who hasn't coded in a decade. I have a two year old and another child due on the 30th. And while KDE doesn't owe me anything, at this point I don't feel like I owe them anything either. Maybe I'll give it another look as it has been 3 or 4 years since I've tried it but it left just an awful taste in my mouth.

    Being able to pin across workspaces and flag a window "keep on top" from the taskbar was also helpful. Especially when you hid the title bar.
