FreeBSD Screen Shots

It's been a while so here is my favorite icewm setup yet on FreeBSD 13.0 :),

KDE 3.5 was a very substantial desktop in terms of features. It is quite impressive to see it working. I bet it also feels quite light and snappy compared to more recent DE projects.
For sure, about 400MB in total for the desktop so basically it's as light as Xfce but even more featureful than Plasma. There was a lot that Plasma threw away that Trinity continues.

You can follow a guide I wrote here on how to install it.
 
Thanks for that. It looks like a really nice guide. I am surprised how straight forward it all looks.

I have also seen that it installs to /opt. I.e /opt/trinity/bin/tdm. That is just beautiful. The later DE projects forgot the concept of self-contained decades ago!

Since it's not an official port it installs to /opt to avoid any conflicts. 🙂
