anybody volunteering. Some one took the initiative to setup some new forum

While there is a lot of good free software I don't think we should fool
ourselves in thinking it is all great. Really the technical advantages of
free software exist with and without the quality. There is one chipset with a
free driver that is just garbage. Unfortunately we have no
Yea- it definitely seems to be coming along. It looks good, installs without
issue, and has got the hardware support we want. Even the AR9170 chipset is
working out of the box which was one of our concerns I have (it's the only
USB N chipset with a free driver at the moment).

Sorry friends, my intention was not to discourage companions. I really

Regardless of it being the least dependent on non-free software I can't

I'd highly encourage people to hold off on the tablets and Raspberry Pi type

devices are all extremely hostile to users freedom. If you don't
There is a lot of cooperation between projects already. What is gained by
merging the branding exactly? Something more tightly integrated? I'm not so
sure even that would be true. We're all working together as it is. Trisquel

It's not a priority project. I believe it was at one time though. Linux came
along and well.. the objective is freedom and it fulfilled that (until the
blobs came-but then it was forked anyway).
Yea- the only reason I can see to use Hurd over Linux-Libre is technical. I'm
not sure what those technical advantages are. The Linux-Libre are well known
though (hardware support). From the free software perspective it doesn't
matter which (free) kernel you use.
From what Bazzy pointed out it looks like it is a resources issue. Why bother
packaging for users what already exists elsewhere? Which is sort of obvious
anyway and consistent with the aims of the project.
I feel inclined to mention that, while there is not a completely free OS for
it (GNU/Linux with mainline Linux is used), the OpenPandora mostly gets the
hardware fine. It's only dependent on nonfree software for 3D and WiFi (and
the WiFi is easily solved if you just get a USB 2.0 Wifi dongle
Someone said good things below are just a fantasy.
The good things would be:
1. It could exist as long as FSF exists.
2. It could become the main libre distribution, effectively obsoleting other
libre distributions, which in turn unites the shattered community.

I remind that GNU
If something, then maintaining 10 different super minority libre distros is
absurd waste of resources, and reinventing a wheel is genius when compared.
Why don't we do a quick organization ?

fixed ?
And how about the shutdown time ? On Ubuntu it takes 3 seconds, but on

Startup and shutdown times are still a bit longer than those of Ubuntu.
Well any readable file like a simple txt, the idea is to send it to Ruben or
show it here after that so anyone is good :D
:S... I remember the time when Arch Linux had a bigger time on shutdown and
startup than Ubuntu.. then with SystemD all changed, and now it is Trisquel
to have the slowest Startup and Shutdown..
The only think that I've noticed is that, when I use the Trisquel's grub I
have the splash
4.0 and 5.5 are losing support at around the same time, so there really isn't
any reason to use 4.0 instead of 5.5 unless you already have it installed.
Whether you prefer 5.5 or 6.0 depends on whether you can stand the testing,
of course.
About nonfree games: that's about the position

I agree.
In pt-br the 'c' in Activo is muted and ommitted from the word. Partilhada is
not wrong, but it makes you look like a weirdo when you say that. We instead

Distributions assemble software packages and there are no two identical
distributions. Most of the packaging is done by the mainstream distribution
and reused by the derivatives. Bugs in the applications are fixed upstream.
In the end, there is little duplicate work.

And who tells that a game is not functional? It may contain some spyware or

Besides, the freedom 2 (the freedom to distribute exact copy to help your
neighbor) should not be forgotten even for the artistic material.
Who said there is two exactly identical distributions? The point was that
instead of actually improving the libre derivate distribution, people spend
time in fixing freedom bugs from 10 different libre distribution. How is that
not duplicate work? Another issue is different non freedom bugs,
The point that I think that is being overlooked, that it is not the number of
libre distros but the number of package management systems (debian, arch,
gentoo etc) with each having its own following, how would you produce a
single distro and keep everyone happy/onboard? at least the current
I perfectly understand you... but I persist: you are wrong. The freedom

Most of the work is about *identifying* the software not respecting the

I haven't said there should be only one libre distribution.
And you are wrong for saying there should not be one superior (main) libre

One True Distribution would by definition fulfill whatever needs.
Well, there was a libre distro based on Slackware too. Talk about choise!
In my opinion it is very good to have libre derivatives of popular distros.
Maybe it takes another 5 years of evolution for one libre distro to get
enough users and developers to be the leader of free distros, bettering
Hey guys!
Sorry for taking so long to reply! I'm up to translate the introduction and
