Nothing looks pixelated to me, either.

I've tried Debian, Ubuntu, and Lubuntu.
I've found that Trisquel strikes that perfect blend between stablity,
performance, and ease of use.

Hi folks!
Two days ago I decided to upgrade my workstation to Trisquel 7.0 in order to

had some minor issues but nothing important have happened until just before

I think that people need to be a little less giddy in wiping out their entire

big ones like this, there should be a little personal Research and

keyboard was locked--and so were the

The AMD/ATI (Radeon) cards all require proprietary software to work
completely (3-D acceleration is always dependent on this proprietary
software). This software is, of course, not included in Trisquel.
You can usually use these GPUs in unaccelerated 2-D mode, though. Is that the

It sounds like your problem is with AMD, not Trisquel. You can blame

for the community to support it properly (that part has nothing to do with
Trisquel). AMD is uncooperative in releasing sufficient code or specs to

You can also create a shortcut to open TBB. Just drag the Web Browser

Ok, well if a 49 year old is embryonic, I don't want to know what my 31 year

And not much else, really, as far as I know.

GNOME has .launcher shortcuts that aren't symlinks and are typically
used by the Applications Menu.
I think KDE has its own launcher format as well.
