Frankly, with what I have seen in free/libre software the past few years, that statement long ago vanished from any truth like the dew on a hot sunny morning. As I said, devs seldom design or test their software on older hardware. Short of minimalistic window managers, the only remaining full desktop environments for older hardware are LXDE, Xfce, and TDE. And Xfce is getting bloated too.

This discussion has gone.. where? I started it to gather opinions for
new logo for trinity and trinity website since actuall resembles too
much that of kde. What I got is bunch of people disussing which
technologies we should use and which not on our new website (that
isn't even in early project state, just a simple idea in my mind).
And now we are shifting to TDE target...
Honestly, IMO this is wrong.
