They have repositories for Debian and Ubuntu-based distros. The submitter is now using it on Ubuntu 15.04, amazed about how well thought things were in the previous generation of DE. We may have gained some things with Gnome 3 and Plasma 5, but also lots of good things are gone. TDE brings them back
