I understand FSF walks a line between free and non-free. My point is that, for all the work they've obviously done to make their desktop beautiful, sharp and professional-looking, it's all wasted...
Being certefied by the GNU project, does Trisquel get financial support by them or are you guys on your own?
Before going with OpenBSD (blobs were one of the reasons I started playing with it) I was using parabola with the Linux-libre kernel. I have found that the OpenBSD policy is more practical, firmw...
good question, if am not mistaken, linux-libre is a deblobbed kernel and the things that would 'facilitate' the user to commit a miss step in the freedom dimension are disabled or removed. Theref...
Good question, often a short quick thing to say is if you buy a car you can do anything you want, you pay for the pieces not for the company to allow you to use the car, and even when you rent yo...
As a free software follower I would say you don't convince people to use software that respects their freedom, you slowly teach them the importance of respecting and protecting your freedom, and ...
Trisquel fully exercises their freedom, heck Trisquel exists, precisely out of free and open source software. Having that said, bias towards a commercial company does not violate any of the four ...
Disclaimer, I am not a member of project, nor a regular contributor. With that out of the way, I must say that is my understanding that FSF stance on distributions is based on the principle that ...
Like many people, I tried running Trisquel on two System76 laptops (born to run linux) only to find that the wireless does not work. Now I understand that this is probably because the wireless ch...
Don't be afraid to become a regular in the JB Mumble server. Lots of free software enthusiasts there, such as myself.
I use the KDE spin of Fedora on my desktop, and it is awesome. KDE 5 though... KDE 5 looks all out totally AWESOME!!! :-) Me like KDE 5!
Haven't had good experience with KDE honestly.
Ooh!!! KDE plasma would awesome.
Trisquel is a Linux-based operating system based on Ubuntu. The project aims for a fully free software system without proprietary software or firmware and uses Linux-libre - a version of the Linu...
Man, I think you are biased because a bad experience in the past. If you don't share their view of freedom, its of course ok, but the reality is that the free software movement was in general the...

Both are great actually! :)
Cinnamon would be a great one. Maybe XFCE as well.
Trisquel is about freedom. Have you ever acted upon the privilege to audit the code and acted upon other threats to this freedom? I.e. did you ever blacklist an open source project based on ethic...
If I may butt in here... Debian and Trisquel actually disagree on some of the fundamentals. For example, the Debian project doesn't seem to think that there's anything wrong with providing an o...
how do you think you can convince pepole who are addicted to non-free software to use freedom respecting software like trisquel also thanks alot for maintaining trisquel!!
Cinammon!
> Trisquel is like the Scientology of Linux distros. And you wonder why people in the Trisquel community have been anti LAS in the past. It's because of people making comments like you h...
Perhaps you can ask Chris if he wants to try out Jitmeet for the interview. Pass this gpg block on to him ok? -----BEGIN PGP ARMORED FILE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Use "gpg --dearmor" for...
Why don't you consider trying moving to Guix as it is the "official" GNU system, rather than just using a fully free ubuntu?
People aren't "actively against freedom"; that silly concept led to the whole "negative in the freedom dimension" meme. People are for practical code that actually works. Branding anyone who does...
What appeal can you make to pragmatic users as to why they should be more concerned about software freedoms?
You must be easily scared if a forum member expressing a preference not to interview with people actively against freedom can do that to you.
Do you think that Trisquel dev's time would be better spent on making Debian a better distribution that respects user freedoms? Having another distribution which shares the same goals (see the ...
Was FSF endorsement a plan or a natural consequence of having freedom of software as priority?
Does Kernel Linux-libre 3.13 give you any advantages over the Linux kernel other than software freedom? And if so how is that being used to your advantage?
Ok, I found the original material.HERE IS WHAT YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT. https://trisquel.info/en/forum/support-trisquel-review-suggestion-linux-action-show This was my post from two years ago...
Why would you have Trisquel developers on? The last time it was suggested for review I posted material on here showing that they were upset at the thought of LAS reviewing it because LAS concentr...
Have any larger hardware vendors been courted regarding offering Trisquel pre-installed? I second this question from another user: "Trisquel comes with either Gnome or LXDE, are there any plans...
do you like where gnome is going?
Looking forward to it! :) Here's a question: Any plans on switching to non-fallback GNOME 3?
Is the distro stable like other Ubuntu-based distros like Mint and Elementary? How is the driver and hardware compatibility across systems especially System76 machines?
I have a question. Trisquel comes with either Gnome or LXDE, are there any plans to add more desktop environments? Like maybe Plasma or cinnamon. Thanks. I can't wait to heir the answer.
I've got a few. Are one of your goals to get the average user to use Trisquel and to teach them the importance of software freedom? If so, the average computer user often puts convenience ove...
Question 1, what is trisquel? Question 2, well how do YOU pronounce it? Question 3, isn't that what I said? Question 4, ok, really, what is trisquel?
That touches several topics, I think it would work better if you extracted some questions from it.
Can you tell us your thoughts about the points discussed there ?
Hi, /u/rubenquidam ! Thank you for all your hard work on the Trisquel project. Lets talk money! How much better would the free Trisquel Operating System project be if it were to receive a reli...
Gotta save something for the show. :)
Hi Ruben and thank you for joining the next Sunday show. Please find here below my questions. Which is the story of the project? Why is Trisquel Ubuntu based and not Debian based? In my und...
How easy, charted over the time Trisquel has existed, has it been to strip out non-free code from the upstream distribution? In other words, has your upstream distribution progressively made an...
That would be me. I'll repress the urge to reply to the questions here! :)
As in are they helping develop Trisquel? Or do you mean that in some other way?
This Sunday we're speaking with one of the Trisquel developers, we need your questions. If you've ever had a question about Trisquel... here's your chance. submitted by /u/q5sys
