Timing is everything. mr_chris on #golug at Freenode was just singing
the praises of TDE an hour ago. 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?

Thanks,
