    Installing TDE to Arch Linux

    Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) is a complete desktop environment that gives you a blast from the past to the KDE 3 days, designed for Linux and other Unix-based operating systems. It’s made for users who wish to use a traditional desktop model rather than a modern desktop model. TDE originally started as a fork of KDE 3.5 in 2010. Since then, it has become fully independent and has its own branding.

    TDE doesn’t conflict with the modern KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment. It also focuses on giving you a traditional desktop environment under the X11 protocol for those who don’t like Wayland desktops.

    To install TDE to an Arch Linux system, follow these steps:

    • 1. Add TDE repositories

      You’ll need to add the TDE repositories before you can install the desktop environment. In order to do so, follow these steps:

      1. Run sudo vim /etc/pacman.conf
      2. Scroll to the end of the file, then add the below two lines to a new line:
       [trinity]  Server = mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/
      1. Save changes with :wq

    • 2. Configure the keys

      Before the repository can be used, you must configure the keys used by this repository by importing the necessary key and trusting it in your side.

      1. Run sudo pacman-key --recv-keys 0x8685AD8B. You should see the below output like this:
       gpg: key C93AF1698685AD8B: public key "Trinity Desktop Environment Archive Signing Key" imported  gpg: Note: third-party key signatures using the SHA1 algorithm are rejected  gpg: (use option "--allow-weak-key-signatures" to override)  gpg: marginals needed: 3  completes needed: 1  trust model: pgp  gpg: depth: 0  valid:   1  signed:   5  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u  gpg: depth: 1  valid:   5  signed:  86  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 5m, 0f, 0u  gpg: depth: 2  valid:  74  signed:  18  trust: 74-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 0u  gpg: next trustdb check due at 2026-10-21  gpg: Total number processed: 1  gpg:               imported: 1
      1. Verify the fingerprint of the key using sudo pacman-key --finger 0x8685AD8B. The below output should look similar to this:
       pub   rsa4096 2019-04-19 [SC]        D6D6 FAA2 5E9A 3E4E CD9F  BDBE C93A F169 8685 AD8B  uid           [ unknown] Trinity Desktop Environment Archive Signing Key  sub   rsa4096 2019-04-19 [E]
      1. Locally sign the imported key using sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 0x8685AD8B. You should see the below output like this:
        -> Locally signed 1 key.

gpg: next trustdb check due at 2026-10-21

    • 3. Install TDE

      Now, you can install the TDE desktop environment. To do so, follow these steps:

      1. Verify that data for the TDE repository can be obtained. You should be able to see trinity’s database being downloaded:
       [aptivi@archapt ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu  :: Synchronizing package databases...   core                  126.4 KiB   188 KiB/s 00:01 [######################] 100%   extra                   5.8 MiB   757 KiB/s 00:03 [###############-------]  70%   trinity                32.0 KiB  29.8 KiB/s 00:01 [######################] 100%
      1. Once all upgrades are complete, you can now install the TDE desktop environment.
        • If you want a minimal installation, install the tde-tdebase package.
        • Else, install the tde-meta package.

    • 4. Configure TDE

      After installation is complete, it’s time to configure it. You can run TDE either manually or with a graphical login manager. To do so, assuming that you’re using a graphical login manager, follow these steps:

      1. Verify that no other graphical login managers, such as lightdm, gdm, or sddm, are enabled. Check the output of sudo systemctl status <dm> for more info, and use sudo systemctl disable to disable such managers if the status shows enabled.

      1. Now, enable the tdm.service unit, and restart your computer.

    If everything looks OK, you should be able to see the TDM login screen that looks like below:

    Afterwards, switch the desktop environment to TDE (if you have multiple desktop environments installed) and follow the instructions in the setup wizard. If everything is configured properly, the TDE desktop should start.

    Installing TDE to Arch Linux

    Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) is a complete desktop environment that gives you a blast from the past to the KDE 3 days, designed for Linux and other Unix-based operating systems. It’s made for users who wish to use a traditional desktop model rather than a modern desktop model. TDE originally started as a fork of KDE 3.5 in 2010. Since then, it has become fully independent and has its own branding.

    TDE doesn’t conflict with the modern KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment. It also focuses on giving you a traditional desktop environment under the X11 protocol for those who don’t like Wayland desktops.

    To install TDE to an Arch Linux system, follow these steps:

    • 1. Add TDE repositories

      You’ll need to add the TDE repositories before you can install the desktop environment. In order to do so, follow these steps:

      1. Run sudo vim /etc/pacman.conf
      2. Scroll to the end of the file, then add the below two lines to a new line:
       [trinity]  Server = mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/
      1. Save changes with :wq

    • 2. Configure the keys

      Before the repository can be used, you must configure the keys used by this repository by importing the necessary key and trusting it in your side.

      1. Run sudo pacman-key --recv-keys 0x8685AD8B. You should see the below output like this:
       gpg: key C93AF1698685AD8B: public key "Trinity Desktop Environment Archive Signing Key" imported  gpg: Note: third-party key signatures using the SHA1 algorithm are rejected  gpg: (use option "--allow-weak-key-signatures" to override)  gpg: marginals needed: 3  completes needed: 1  trust model: pgp  gpg: depth: 0  valid:   1  signed:   5  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u  gpg: depth: 1  valid:   5  signed:  86  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 5m, 0f, 0u  gpg: depth: 2  valid:  74  signed:  18  trust: 74-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 0u  gpg: next trustdb check due at 2026-10-21  gpg: Total number processed: 1  gpg:               imported: 1
      1. Verify the fingerprint of the key using sudo pacman-key --finger 0x8685AD8B. The below output should look similar to this:
       pub   rsa4096 2019-04-19 [SC]        D6D6 FAA2 5E9A 3E4E CD9F  BDBE C93A F169 8685 AD8B  uid           [ unknown] Trinity Desktop Environment Archive Signing Key  sub   rsa4096 2019-04-19 [E]
      1. Locally sign the imported key using sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 0x8685AD8B. You should see the below output like this:
        -> Locally signed 1 key.
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: Note: third-party key signatures using the SHA1 algorithm are rejected
gpg: (use option "--allow-weak-key-signatures" to override)
gpg: marginals needed: 3  completes needed: 1  trust model: pgp
gpg: depth: 0  valid:   1  signed:   6  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u
gpg: depth: 1  valid:   6  signed:  86  trust: 1-, 0q, 0n, 5m, 0f, 0u
gpg: depth: 2  valid:  74  signed:  18  trust: 74-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 0u
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2026-10-21

    • 3. Install TDE

      Now, you can install the TDE desktop environment. To do so, follow these steps:

      1. Verify that data for the TDE repository can be obtained. You should be able to see trinity’s database being downloaded:
       [aptivi@archapt ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu  :: Synchronizing package databases...   core                  126.4 KiB   188 KiB/s 00:01 [######################] 100%   extra                   5.8 MiB   757 KiB/s 00:03 [###############-------]  70%   trinity                32.0 KiB  29.8 KiB/s 00:01 [######################] 100%
      1. Once all upgrades are complete, you can now install the TDE desktop environment.
        • If you want a minimal installation, install the tde-tdebase package.
        • Else, install the tde-meta package.

    • 4. Configure TDE

      After installation is complete, it’s time to configure it. You can run TDE either manually or with a graphical login manager. To do so, assuming that you’re using a graphical login manager, follow these steps:

      1. Verify that no other graphical login managers, such as lightdm, gdm, or sddm, are enabled. Check the output of sudo systemctl status <dm> for more info, and use sudo systemctl disable to disable such managers if the status shows enabled.

Jun 15 11:59:13 archapt systemd[1]: Started Light Display Manager.  [...]
      1. Now, enable the tdm.service unit, and restart your computer.

    Afterwards, switch the desktop environment to TDE (if you have multiple desktop environments installed) and follow the instructions in the setup wizard. If everything is configured properly, the TDE desktop should start.

    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.

    Precisely so. And blobby rounded corners that waste a ton of screen space.

    And don't forget the "mystery meat" toggle switches.

    I think I need to try out the #TrinityDesktopEnvironment sometime. It's the KDE 4 equivalent to MATE, and it might be pretty sharp. I only ever used KDE 1, 2, 5, and 6, so I never tried that era. ;)
