Not sure what TDE means....unless you are talking about it being empty.
I do not see it as light weight but rather I see it as, giving the user to opportunity to decide.
For me personally I don't want to be told what browser to use, or office tools, or even, media player.
Yes I can uninstall them but it is causing me loss of time to do that. Where as if the system comes fairly bare, I only need to build my system my way out of the box. no undo redo of things...
But again also I don't want a system that is so minimum that it take forever just to get it to a bare point where I am actually doing real things...
Its that in between that it hits really well.
We do have off shoot builds that are really tiny 600mb less and a I know few folks are working on a heavy build for the predefined niche in the community
Yes so back t your question I think mainline is the perfect in between for a starting point.
Hope that helps

Hi Karamel,
I installed TDE in 2019 after an user of the forum I belonged to, wrote an enthusiastic post about TDE ranging from its low resource footprint, to how they found the layout and work-flow to their taste.
The resource result were similar to middle-weight distros such as Xfce, MATE, with LXDE having an even lighter footprint. As for work-flow benefits or how the maintainers of Trinity such as Q4OS packaged their distro, if memory was correct, they had a minimal desktop with a software package that could be installed relatively quickly.
The work-flow, as it was based on a KDE variant, I think is a fork of the KDE3 desktop. It did not float my boat nor has KDE versions 4 and 5. Which I have tried from various maintainers offering their take as we do at Peppermint with our minimal Xfce. Netrunner has been the only KDE that caught my attention as a well thought out and attractive package.
Peppermint has been around since 2010, utilising a minimal software package for the end user to decide what software suits their purpose. I can only speak for us to how our present ethos of not including a default browser. Again this produced some very interesting results when we polled our forum members to include or not, the votes were similar to what was the best browser argument.
What is best is subjective.

What do you think, in your opinion, is the working environment lightweight, without a browser and other applications? My opinion is TDE
