Those issues would be solved if he moved from a LTS to LTS release so 6 will
be 12.04 and 7 will be 14.04. At the pace right now, the Trisquel releases

I second this.
Including nonfree drivers and firmware does not result in the least amount of

the nonfree software will fail, and when it does, the person you introduced
