I am pretty sure I am missing something, but Devuan ASCII has
plasma-desktop5 (5.8.6), and the corresponding libraries, and there is
no systemd...

Oh BTW: nobody here likes systemd, so you are not alone :)

Plasma has packages who's names end with D and all are related to 
systemd and do systemd service even when systemd is not there and they 
are being started with any init system you are using, they can be 
removed, but you have to find the buggers first. Life today is a 
struggle to be without systemd.


Like other people I have been playing with removing systemd for a long 
time, but only the last month did I get serous about leaving systemd 
completely, as a linux tester it was a hard choice to make and now I see 
there is a real war going on to keep systemd out of your OS.


You should spend a week with Trinity and see all the things that you are 
missing in Plasma.  KDE3 is a award winning desktop both Unix and 
Groupware compliant and very configurable. I've added a snapshot of my 
Ceres system, enjoy. https://paste.pics/36KUG

KDE4 would be great, the version in Jessie is a favorite, best install.
I just don't want systemd or plasma and I do want a spectre patched

..one part of the reason TDE was started, was the KDE devs ditched 
KDE 3.5.x user locale etc environment setup customizability, in favor 
of GNOME-style "smart" KDE4 user setup.

..I'm totally okay with a recommended localised environment setup
_suggetion_ for newbies and totally fed up with dictatorship.


..and AFAICT, TDE hasn't recovered what I had in KDE-3.5.14.

I've not looked lately, but it started life after the KDE devs stopped
supporting KDE 3.5.x and focused on KDE4.  What it has acquired in the
meantime, I don't know.

What's the TLDR on TDE? Is it less encumbered with systemd than KDE/Plasma?

​Thanks,

Thanks for the reply,

Trinity is not a distro without systemd and probably why you did not 
find it, but there are a distro or two with no-systemd that use Trinity.


Personally I like clean base installs and then add the desktop and 
Trinity is a KDE Desktop based on the award winning KDE3 desktop that 
was abandoned by KDE about 9-10 yrs ago, adapted and updated by Timothy 
Pearson, who used to develop Kubuntu, since KDE3 was abandoned.



   
https://blog.spiralofhope.com/tag/linux-distributions-which-do-not-use-systemd

It might still be available for one of them, but I suspect that when I
looked, it wasn't the main desktop environment for any of them.

Unless there's a packager behind the scenes working on it (fingers
crossed for you), Devuan itself doesn't have it packaged, so it's
unsurprising that (at a glance) no distribution based on Devuan
features Trinity.



I was still curious..

I tried to find the developers' reasoning in building it, as
philosophies are a fascinating read for me.  I had no luck. It appears
to be a continuation that matured into its own desktop environment.

May I ask your reasoning for wanting Trinity?

   [ I wonder if you can be convinced of another environment (or none at
   all) enough to migrate and use Devuan. ]



Simple, I'm a point and click user and KDE in my opinion is the best.

Cheers!

There was discussion last year about adding TDE but it never went anywhere.


Currently tde-trinity is a clean install on a ASCII base install but 
needs work on Ceres & Beowulf, hopefully will be a clean install after 
Beowulf becomes final and testing I am doing.

I test Debian and Ubuntu KDE for more than 20yrs, but no more I'm
leaving Plasma and Systemd, they take the Happy out of Camping and
computing too.

I'm looking for a distro that features TDE-Trinity, based on Ubuntu
with No-Systemd, or better yet something similar to Devuan where you
can do a base install and add TDE-Trinity, anybody working on this?




..I have tried TDE-Trinity on Devuan Jessie, but found it flakier
than KDE and Plasma.
I simply added TDE-Trinity's builddep-r14.0.0 and trinity-14.0.0
debian deb 'n deb-src lines to my /etc/apt/sources.list.
Once you comment those lines out, TDE-Trinity becomes "obsolete"
and are easily purged.



Thanks for the reply.

I have no problem with KDE4 on Jessie, the only problem I have with 
Jessie is that it's not spectre variant 1&2 patched, only meltdown 
patched.  So I run day to day ASCII with TDE-Trinity for Stretch and 
it's a clean install with no problems.

If you like that sort of thing.. 

http://exegnulinux.net/

Is a Devuan based distro using Trinity DE out of the box.

So I think that would be your go to easy option for that. Looks updated as of 
December just gone.

Other than that you can use KDE or MATE on Devuan ascii beta, if you're looking 
for something bigger. Depends on your requirements.

​Thanks,

chillfan

Not quite true.  There is a Devuan derivative that uses TDE.  It was one 
of the first!


https://sourceforge.net/projects/exegnulinux/

And yes, TDE won't get into the Devuan repos unless someone steps up to 
package AND maintain it from release to release.  That being said, there 
are several Devuan users who have TDE installed from other sources.
