<H2>General Questions</H2>
|
|
<P><B>1. Why another desktop environment?</B>
|
|
<P>We wanted a traditional-style menu-panel-taskbar-quicklaunch desktop with a full set of features.
|
|
For the past few years, KDE and the other major Linux desktop environments have been experimenting
|
|
with new interface paradigms. There's nothing wrong with basing a DE around a new and innovative idea,
|
|
but not everyone is going to be happy with it, just as not everyone likes the sort of traditional
|
|
interface Trinity offers.
|
|
|
|
<P><B>2. Doesn't XFCE4 fill the same niche as Trinity? What about Maté?</B>
|
|
<P>XFCE4 is a lighter desktop than Trinity, meaning that it contains less code and likely requires
|
|
less hardware, but also offers fewer features. Maté is probably playing in much the same
|
|
space as we are, but a lot of us tried it when it was still Gnome 2 and decided we liked Trinity's
|
|
ancestor better.
|
|
|
|
<P><B>3. Isn't Trinity just KDE 3.5.10 with a few cosmetic changes?</B>
|
|
<P>Trinity has several features that KDE 3 didn't have, such as
|
|
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_attention_key">Secure Attention Key</a> support and
|
|
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Color_Consortium">ICC (International Color Consortium)</a>
|
|
color profile support. It's also been updated to work without requiring obsolete libraries like HAL, and
|
|
is available for more distributions (at the time of writing, KDE3 was no longer available for any major Linux
|
|
distribution except OpenSUSE and Gentoo).
|
|
|
|
<P><B>4. What's your relationship with KDE e.V. (the legal entity behind KDE)?</B>
|
|
<P>We don't have one. Really. We do our best not to interfere with their trademarks, and in
|
|
return they mostly pretend that we don't exist.
|
|
|
|
<P><B>5. Should I report Trinity bugs to the KDE bug tracker?</B>
|
|
<P>Please don't. We have our own bug tracker at http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/ .
|
|
Sending our bugs to them will just annoy them, and it won't get your bug fixed.
