Support for Ubuntu Stonking (26.10) has been added to #TDE Preliminary Stable Builds (PSB) and Preliminary Testing Builds (PTB) and will be available for the R14.1.7 release.
At the same time, support for Ubuntu Oracular (24.10) has been discontinued, so only packages up to R14.1.6 are provided.
Packages will be available on the #Trinity mirrors as soon as PSB/PTB builds resume.

Small improvement for handling of non-#TDE windows.
Some applications (like zenity or d-feet) ask for their border to be hidden. Until now it wasn't possible to override such request, not even temporarily.
A recent fix allows to toggle a border or to set advanced conditions to force the application to start in a bordered mode. Use the window's menu (usually Alt+F3) and the Advanced submenu to access it.

Updated PSB/PTB packages are already available on the #Trinity mirrors.

Note for users of #TDE Preliminary Stable Builds (PSB).

As it is customary with every new #Trinity release, there is a short period of time when PSB packages will be held in a frozen state, matching the release ones. This facilitates switching back to stable package for those users who moved to PSB only for temporary reasons (for example for urgent fixes).
Building of rolling PSB packages will resume on May 10, 2026.

Trinity, le plaisant fork de KDE 3

Vous vous souvenez de KDE 3, l'excellent environnement de bureau ? Il a été fork à l'époque du passage à KDE 4, et est devenu Trinity Desktop Environment !

Merci à @tde pour ce travail incroyable !

For the upcoming #TDE R14.1.6 release, we have carried out a long overdue update of the builtin search engines. We have also grouped them into various categories and reworked the GUI to simplify the configuration process.
Use the runner window with Alt+F2 to get the best out of the updated engines.

Find out more at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdebase/pulls/677.

Updated PSB/PTB packages will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.

Info for #Trinity developers, packagers and builders.

kvirc can now be built with cmake. Until the release of R14.1.6, both cmake and automake builds will be supported, afterward automake support will be removed and only cmake will be available. Make sure to update your building scripts as needed.
This is part of the continuous effort to migrate all #TDE code base to cmake builds. Check the current status at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/9

Yeah, Macintosh System 7.1 or so is pretty peak #UI.

You can also spin up a VM for, let's say, Ubuntu 10.04 pretty easily. Whatever was the last Gnome 2.x Ubuntu release.

Also, some distros and probably BSDs have #TDE, the #TrinityDesktopEnvironment, which is based on KDE 3.x, I believe.

You could also just try Mate, but I actually prefer old Gnome 2 to Mate in side-by-side comparisons.

Compatibility options and currency signs have been added to #TDE kxkb under the "Miscellaneous options" section. See the screenshot below for a before/after comparison.

Updated PSB/PTB packages will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.

#TDE applications sometimes hanged when visualizing some specific Unicode characters using specific fonts. This was due to a bug in TQt related to glyphs rendering. The bug has been fixed and will be part of the upcoming R14.1.6 release. See https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/tde/tqt/issues/270 for more info.

Updated PSB/PTB packages will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.

KMail was not able to correctly verify the GPG signatures of messages that were both encrypted and signed, although it had no problems with signed but non encrypted messages. This has now been fixed and will be part of the upcoming #TDE R14.1.6 release.
More info can be found at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/tde/tdepim/issues/187 and https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/tde/tdepim/issues/190.

Updated PSB/PTB packages are or will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.

Info for #TDE users on Debian-like distros (either PSB/PTB or the next stable release).

In the last couple of weeks there has been some package renaming to better comply with Debian conventions. If you are experiencing #Trinity-related package conflicts while updating your system, please try one of the following methods:

1. apt-get full-upgrade
2. aptitude upgrade
3. apt upgrade (should be fine)
4. from aptitude TUI, use `U`

Few packages are affected so far and there may be some more coming.

We are pleased to announce that #TDE R14.1.5 is now available on @gentoo for building. The R14.1.x branch of the Gentoo packaging repository has been updated to provide ebuild scripts for the latest stable version of #Trinity. At the same time, ebuild scripts for R14.1.2 have been removed. For more info, check out the packaging code at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde-packaging-gentoo/src/branch/r14.1.x

In the past few days, several bug fixes for twin's translucency settings have been added to #TDE's code. Using translucency should now provide a smoother experience, with less annoying bugs that previously required restarting a session or twin.
For more info see the current WIP version of "R14.1.6 release notes" at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/242.

Updated PSB/PTB packages are or will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.

Debian-based distros are updating cdbs and removing old files, relying more on debhelper instead (see for example https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/cdbs/cdbs_0.4.182_changelog). This makes building #TDE in such distributions de facto impossible.
As a workaround, we have added the removed functionality under tde-cdbs, but in future we will be making changes to better integrating with newer versions of debhelper.
In parallel we continue to work on porting all #Trinity code to cmake, which will make the issue go away in full.

@jlw_the_jobber @plwt @geerlingguy

I need to try #TDE sometime, but I'm in my "just a wm/compositor, thanks" phase now. ;)

A small improvement for #TDE's Konqueror. The desktop is an important place for many users, so we have added a "Go to Desktop" entry to the "Go" menu for a quick way to navigate to it.

Updated PSB/PTB packages are already available on the #Trinity mirrors.

If you use #TDE's kvirc, you probably know that the GUI is only available in English.
We have fixed some long existing bugs and translations into other languages are now working again. Autodetection of the selected TDE language is not yet functional, but you can choose your own language in "Configure KVIrc → General options → Language → Force language".

Updated PSB/PTB packages are already available on the #Trinity mirrors.

Loong64 is now an official supported architecture in @debian (see https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2025/12/msg00004.html) and will be part of the Forky release.

We have added support for loong64 in #TDE Preliminary Stable and Testing Builds, at the moment for sid and later for forky. If you have a Loong64 machine, try it out and let us know your experience.

Packages are already available on the #Trinity mirrors. Find out how to install them at these pages:
- PSB: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Stable_Builds
- PTB: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Testing_Builds

Info for #Trinity developers and contributors.

We have recently increased the accepted C++ standard for #TDE code to c++17. From now on, feel free to use any of the functionalities provided by it.
It also means that you need a C++ compiler that supports such standard. For all the distributions on which we are currently building TDE, that should not be a problem.

Support for Ubuntu Resolute (26.04) has been added to #TDE Preliminary Stable Builds (PSB) and Preliminary Testing Builds (PTB) and will be available for the R14.1.6 release.
At the same time, support for Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) has been discontinued, so only packages up to R14.1.5 are provided.

#TDE R14.1.5 introduced a new Flying Konqi wallpaper. Various users have reported imperfections and probably some AI-based sloppiness about it, things that had unfortunately not been spotted during the initial development review.
We have taken note of the feedback given and asked the original author to rework the wallpaper to enhance its quality to an acceptable level. Should this not happen, we will have no choice but to remove the wallpaper for the release of #Trinity R14.1.6.

New feature added to #TDE ksnapshot. It is now possible to drag-n-drop pictures from ksnapshot directly into other receiving containers, such as browsers, file managers, image programs and anything accepting "text/uri-list" types.

Updated PSB/PTB packages are already available on the #Trinity mirrors.

@tichon @DJGummikuh

I use & voted for #Xfce but some other options could be those DEs purposely designed to "preserve" an older version of a #DesktopEnvironment or GUI toolkit. I suspect they would be extremely unlikely to introduce paradigm-shifting changes

e.g.

MATE (based on Gnome 2)
#MATEDesktop #MATEDesktopEnvironment
@mate

#TrinityDE (based on KDE 3)
#TDE

[Перевод] Postgres Pro TDE — security and performance

TDE comes in many flavors — from encryption at the TAM level to full-cluster encryption and tablespace markers. We take a close look at Percona, Cybertec/EDB, Pangolin/Fujitsu, and show where you lose performance and reliability, and where you gain flexibility. On top of that, Vasily Bernstein, Deputy head of product development, and Vladimir Abramov, senior security engineer, will share how Postgres Pro Enterprise implements key rotation without rewriting entire tables — and why AES-GCM was the clear choice.

Postgres Pro TDE — безопасность и производительность

TDE бывает разным: от шифрования на уровне TAM до полного кодирования всего кластера и меток tablespace. Мы сравниваем Percona, Cybertec/EDB, Pangolin/Fujitsu и показываем, где теряется производительность и надёжность, а где появляется гибкость. Дополнительно замдиректора департамента разработки продуктов Василий Бернштейн и старший инженер по ИБ Владимир Абрамов расскажут о том, как в Postgres Pro Enterprise реализована ротация ключей без полного переписывания таблиц и почему выбран AES‑GCM.

New application added to the #TDE umbrella.

tde-ebook-reader is a TQt port of #FBReader 0.12 and aims at providing a good ebook reader for all the platforms in which TDE is available. Compared to FBReader, it currently lacks the ability to download ebooks directly from the internet, but this functionality may get added back at some point in future.

Packages for PSB/PTB are being built and will be available on the #Trinity mirrors in the coming days.

⚙️ Trinity keeps KDE 3 on life support - LWN

Halli, hallo, ich wünsche Euch einen schönen Feiertag.

Vor 34 Jahren war ich bei zwei verschiedenen KWVen (Kommunale Wohnungsverwaltung). Ich habe im Herbst 1989 über 20 leerstehende Wohnungen gemeldet. Im Prenzlauer Berg gab es einen Wasserschaden, weshalb die dortige KWV komplett den Überblick darüber verloren hatte, welche Wohnungen von wem belegt waren. Ich versuchte also mittels Leerstandsmeldungen und Beharrlichkeit legal eine Wohnung zu bekommen, obwohl ich eigentlich in Pankow gemeldet war und im Prenzlauer Berg keine Wohnung bekommen konnte.

Jedenfalls führte mich mein Weg an der #Gethsemanekirche vorbei. Dort war eine Mahnwache. „Dort steht eine Mahnwache. Sie setzt sich für die Freilassung der politischen Gefangenen ein. Abends, auf dem Weg zum Fleischer, konnte ich mich davon überzeugen, dass die Wache noch immer steht. Außerdem stehen Polizei-LKWs, Streifenwagen, Polizisten und unauffällige Dreiergrüppchen in Zivil in den Zufahrtsstraßen.“

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethsemanekirche_(Berlin)#Herbst_1989

Am 3. oder 4.10. begann wohl auch der #Hungerstreik in der Kirche.

Ich habe T. getroffen, dem ich Texte geschickt hatte. Er hatte mir Kassetten geschickt. Wir haben über die Kassettenproduktion (illegale? Eigenproduktionen der Bands, die auf Konzerten verkauft wurden) und ein Konzert mit Firma und Skeptikern in der Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle gesprochen. Die Firma hatte zur Kriegsdienstverweigerung aufgerufen, für eine #DDR ohne Waffen, hatte ein #HerbstInPeking-T-Shirt an und Neue-Forum-Fahnen.

Es war ein ziemliches Ding, der Ton wurde dann auch abgedreht. Ich hatte auch meinen uralten Lehrer mit zu diesem Konzert geschleppt.

T. muss wohl Toaster von #dieAnderen gewesen sein.

Na, jedenfalls wollte (fast) niemand von den Bürgerrechtler*innen und dem sonstigen Untergrund eine #Wiedervereinigung. Und einen #Anschluss schon gar nicht.
