Trinity 14.1.0

If you fancy a dip into the future then you may want to have a play with Exe GNU/Linux - a Devuan-based Live Linux with Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE).

Their testing version is here https://sourceforge.net/projects/exegnu … so/testing

I did find that it hung on boot and needed Alt f something to actually get it going - probably just my machine. Didn't bother trying to install but it works fine as a live version to see what's around the corner.

Obviously it's a development version but it's good to see work on future versions of TDE is still going on. Would be nice if they get to a point where Centaurus will be able to run with it.

Re: Trinity 14.1.0

I played with it a bit myself.  I didn't have any issues like you did, but I was playing around with it on my q4os machine, which is EXTREMELY basic (other than having eMMC instead of a hard drive).  Overall it worked fine, but I just didn't connect with it.

If someone on q4os wants to play around with 14.1, they could also add the trinity repos directly (https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Prelimi … ing_Builds) and install it.  I haven't done it, don't know if htere's any conflicts with other things, or if it'll completely crash ones machine, but it's another option if someone has an install they'd like to see 14.1 with and not concerned if it causes issues.
