My understanding is that ScummVM is free software, like Abrowser. But sadly many users might _consider_ both useless without some form of proprietary software (in the case of browsers, many JS and SWF programs are proprietary). Yet, using either without running proprietary software is still

Is Ruben going to keep it in there or rip it out and replace it? I'm not exactly a fan of UEFI, which seems to be a standard developed in the interests of companies only. But that doesn't keep the user from being any less free either. A lot of UEFI implementations are proprietary, so of

On Windows, I use to use (lol, sorry for my English) some Firefox plug-ins like Ghostery or Do not track. I supposed I would find this type of plug-in on Abrowser, but I didn't. I prefer to disable cookies on my default browser. Any sites that require identification to post (like

Someone said an excellent VLC analogy which can be extended to browsers. Most of the people use browsers to use non-free media. Why game engines can't be used to watch non-free media?

You could also use a cookie whitelist (uncheck the cookies option, then individually allow sites in the FF options). This is what I do and I couldn't agree more about white and black lists.

Removing a package won't remove the config files, which I believe could be the problem here so you'll need to purge. What does that markauto do? Looks like it's some aptitude thing actually. I believe the latter option is closer to what needs to be done. Of course, if you knew which package

Indeed. Try removing the configuration files which are related to the basic GNOME desktop. Some of them are in ~/.gnome2, others in .config.

Reading again the thread, I (re)discovered you have already tried to log in as a newly created user (it is what you mean by profile, isn't it?). Then, removing configuration files will not help (a new user has none that relate with graphical software).

Well, GNOME Fallback uses Compiz by default in Trisquel 6, right? I don't know if KDE uses that or KWin when you install it on Trisquel 6. One modern desktop environment that doesn't use Compiz is GNOME Shell, so you could try that. I don't know exactly how well it goes on Trisquel 6, but on

Just a note, my GTX 560 (NVCE) performed terribly on Nouveau with an up-to-date kernel (3.7). It had very bad 3D acceleration because of very low clock speeds, and reclocking doesn't work on Fermi yet with nouveau. The only way performance is going to increase is when nouveau is able to
