This release also adds support for the LoongArch64 architecture on Debian 14 Forky/Sid and support for the Mageia 10 distribution.

Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) R14.1.6 desktop environment has been released today for nostalgic KDE 3.5 users as the sixth maintenance release of the R14.1.x series, adding new features and enhancements.

Coming about five and a half months after Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.5, the Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.6 release introduces support for recent GNU/Linux distributions, including Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon), Fedora Linux 44, and Mageia 10, as well as support for the LoongArch64 architecture on Debian 14 Forky/Sid.

Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.6 also updates the available search engines and graphical UI, adds a “Go to Desktop” action to the Konqueror browser, adds an option for a 3D border to the Kicker application menu, and adds drag and drop support of snapshots into other apps from the KSnapshot screenshot utility.

In addition, this release adds “Compatibility options” and “Currency signs” options under Kxkb’s “Miscellaneous options”, improves the handling of special unicode characters in TQt (Trinity Qt), and improves arrow key and Page Up/Page Down navigation and scrollbar in the KCharSelect characters tool.

Furthermore, Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.6 brings improvements to various TDE-branded icons, pictures, and artwork, removes the sloppy Flying Konqi wallpaper, adds support for XZ archives to TDE’s KIO slave component, and adds support for Poppler 26.04 and later to TDE’s graphics utilities.

TDE’s TWin (Trinity Window Manager) has been improved as well in this release, with fixes to tiling of maximized windows and opacity-related issues, making using transparency easier and providing an overall better user experience.

Also improved was signature verification in KMail’s encrypted emails, language translations in the KVIrc IRC client, and handling of special unicode characters in TQt (Trinity Qt). Moreover, TDE R14.1.6 adds filesystem type indication in the TDE Display Manager’s Meta Info property page.

Of course, numerous bugs were fixed, so check out the full release notes [trinitydesktop.org] for more details about the changes included in Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.6, which you can download for Linux distros, as well as BSD and DilOS systems from the official website [trinitydesktop.org]. Upgrading from Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.5 should be straightforward.
