The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) project is a feature rich desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems with a primary goal of retaining the overall KDE 3.5 computing style. The project was founded by and is still led by Timothy Pearson. After 5 years of work, TDE is a fast, stable and mature desktop for Linux.

TDE is the successor desktop to KDE 3.5. Continued development by the Trinity Project has polished off many rough edges that were present in the final release of KDE 3.5.10. Many new and useful features have been added to keep the environment up-to-date.

The current stable release of TDE (3.5.13-2) was released July 21st 2013. Binaries for many Linux distributions and source-code tar archives are available for download. Current development is on 14.0.0 (R14). R14 underwent soft-freeze on March, 4, 2014 and RC releases for R14 are scheduled shortly.

One of most notable features of R14 is implementation of the Trinity Desktop Hardware Library (tdehwlib) that did away with dependency on HAL. With the HAL dependency removed, R14's foundation now rests solidly on current and maintained libraries and dependencies.
