Look at the timing of my last post. I was in the process of writing it on a
cell phone during your processing of the post about a fork in progress. Chill
out bro.
Hello forest, great idea! If you open a terminal window and input
mount
what is the output? To see if there is a separate home partition.
A similar and related discussion is whether to talk about free software or
open source. Many people use the two as synonyms but that's not accurate. If
one knows his software history, he will know that open source was but a
marketing campaign for free software, started by Eric Raymond and

Hi everyone,
I've been learning a lot about Trisquel lately, mostly because of h-node and
what a great resource it is. I've actually been working the past few days on
a crazy idea to solve the problem that you already brought up:
We shouldn't need a different database for each and every
Still looks the same. What was it supposed to show now?
If I understand what you are trying to do this is not a solution. Merging the
info does not solve the problem.
Ubuntu Tweak is really useful - if I remember correctly (I haven't used it in
years) it makes removing old kernels and PPAs possible without using the
terminal so new users do not need to see multiple kernels whenever the update
includes a new kernel and they can easily purge PPAs that they
No.
I'm actually surprised it hasn't been done by somebody though.
I'm not against the database's existence. It has its uses. I just don't think
we should be pointing or giving people the impression that this is how you
buy hardware for GNU/Linux. It's just not an answer for the majority. A
For me it shows nothing, just the usual reboot/restart messages.

Totally agree with you :D
No... seriously what is this ?
No instability here. I have gotten this weird thing where the graphics are
all screwed up and there's an odd error message that repeats over and over
when turning off the computer rather than the normal wallpaper image, but I'm
pretty sure both of these are because of of the integrated
Sorry but comparing the two can actually be fair. Linux Mint develops many
more things than Trisquel, that's why they need more developers and more
support. They even have their own applications and now their own Desktop
Environment (Cinnamon), besides they support about 5 flavours of Linux
I prefer the term GNU System' because it most accurately describes what I
have. I've been doing a bit of a license audit on my GNU system and this is
what I have found:
85.5% GPL licensed (GPLv1-3 LGPL 2-3)
17.82% MIT (X Windows System mostly)
6% BSD (vixie-cron, poppler-data, libogg,
It's not about the license. GNU is an operating system and a perfectly good
name for what we call GNU/Linux. But we call it GNU/Linux because GNU
is unrecognized by a lot of people, and also because it would be
ungentlemanly of the GNU project ask people to not recognize Linux at all in

You may want to consider this before calling the whole thing GNU:

DuckDuckGo doesn't require the Javascript. It just uses it for some extras

there might be something else, too). If you use LibreJS, it links you to a

LibreJS only talks about those pieces of code from the .js file :
But why i have to named a distribution GNU/? if it doesn't care freedom and
it have no (or few) gnu programs.
To people, i say always GNU/Linux and revise when people say just Linux.
But how can i say GNU/Linux to a distribution who doesn't respect freedom ?
GNU = freedom.
Linux = (what ? -

So to sum this up:

Google simply doesn't cause a problem when you don't use the non-free

This is likely because he had more time in the early years to work on these
releases. He's not going to have that time again. Unlike early on there were
probably other people contributing to his existence (government) and parents.
Now he's got to work and the releases are less timely.
Maybe spam, don't you think so?
Well actually Google is not problem free. If we use LibreJS to remove the
non-free code then we will have to use the https://encrypted.google.com

webpage), and you can't see any image on it. On youtube you can't see the
Aren't donations a contribution? Because i'm seeing lots of donations being
made to Trisquel since the donation system has started. Plus Trisquel has
also other sources of income like the gift shop and so on, but the donations
alone should be sufficient to see an improvement in the release

I know it is spam but I think it is weird :S... In all the time I've been on
this forum (1 month if I'm not wrong) only 1 or 2 weeks I start to see those

moderator to remove those kind of messages.
You can list them here: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/4206. That's what
I've been doing. But I do agree that it would be good to have a moderator.
To start off, what I want to do most is digitize everything in my life that

The future tense in your sentence confused me. Sorry to have misunderstood
you.
Looks like there is no separate home partition, so you need to first backup
anything you wish to save off the hard disk and then go ahead with the
install. I too suggest when installing, do make a separate home.

I'm also basing Banana's viewpoint on the comment he made in his first reply:

True.
Android might have a kernel derived from Linux although you should probably
be careful in calling it a “Linux”. It is not done in the spirit of
“Linux” or free software and calling it “Linux” is like like calling
Apple's Mac OS X a BSD. There may be some truth behind it although it
You are too kind. Thank you.
Yes. I did donate to the TUBE open movie.
It sounded like a good idea. Not only is it made with free software, but
crowdfunded as well. We do need more of this for sure.
Like Magic Banana said the amount of funds are insufficient at this point to
make a difference in the timeliness of the releases. Until there are
sufficient funds for Rubén Rodríguez to work on it full time I don't think
it is unreasonable that the release time be significant in comparison
So, you really do not under logical consequences!? The project is not dead

Since then, there have been announcements of forks and I was made aware of
