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!

urza already hit the point about having to waste money on MICROS~1's fragile junk -then- having to waste time on it as well.
No, thanks. BTDTGTTS. Nevermore.
broke my drivers [...] upgrade deathmarch
If you're seeing that, the problem is YOU.
Your crappy hardware vendor took your cash and laughed at you.
The reason you have problems with Linux is that you can't make a clean break from the closed-code mentality and will continue to give cash for such products--even when they are horribly broken.
...and I have old hardware (running under Linux) that doesn't have drivers available for the latest Windoze versions.
I already pointed at gycklarn who experienced the same thing.
The problem is the inverse of what you have stated.
taking the challenge
I haven't experienced any of that.
As I already mentioned, people who don't give good money for crap hardware with crap support don't encounter the problem.
