The Trinity Desktop Environment is available to install for Sparky users now.
From Wikipedia:
The Trinity Desktop Environment project (TDE) is a fork of KDE 3.5, organised and led by Timothy Pearson, who had coordinated Kubuntu remixes featuring KDE 3.5, after Kubuntu switched to KDE 4. This project aims to release continuing bug fixes, additional features, and compatibility with recent hardware.
The Trinity desktop can be installed via 2 different ways.
1. Sparky APTus
Upgrade the packages to the latest versions:
– sparky-aptus 0.3.x
– sparky-desktop 20160509-1
– sparky-desktop-data 20160509
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sparky-aptus sparky-desktop sparky-desktop-data
Then run APTus from the system’s Menu and choose Trinity.
2. Fresh Sparky installation
