In fact, it was so unpopular that it inspired a fork of KDE 3: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ https://www.trinitydesktop.org/
(IMHO, later versions of KDE got good, but even today I understand the appeal of just sticking to the same thing)
- darkwater 1y agoAnd it still exists, by looking at the NEWS section! That's a long grudge to hold :)
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoI don't know that it's a grudge per se; people liked KDE 3, so they forked it and stayed on the working thing that they liked. Don't fix what isn't broken.
- wkat4242 1y agoYeah it's kinda the same thing that happened to gnome 2 though it wasn't really a fork but rather a respawn in the form of cinnamon.
- LambdaComplex 1y agoI think you're thinking of MATE. Cinnamon is a fork of GNOME 3.
- darkwater 1y agoI was going to reply that current MATE is more "modern" that late Gnome 2 compared to "Trinity vs KDE3", but then I went to compare screenshots and I wasn't right. But in both cases I'm amused that people can get so attached to a UI paradigm that they rather fork it and spend time and effort keeping it alive. It doesn't really click with me, but I admire the effort.
