He tells me TDE has no nepomuk, no akonadi, and performs relatively well. Personnally, I removed every KDE app and library from my computer many years ago to Keep from Krashing (tm), but perhaps a certain subset of KDE apps and libraries wouldn't crash and hang the computer if run from TDE. Nik, how reasonable would it be to use TDE without KDE apps? Would doing so still yield benefits over and above, let's say, Xfce? Does TDE have any systemd dependencies?
