They say release early, release often
Members of the team have been working on the build-able building system this
past week, adding some more pieces you can use to build your castles, and
another stand-alone building for the multi-tool where you can imprison other
players in if you have
Trisquel6, gNewSense4 Ucclia, and Devuan Jessie screenshots.
101os testing on 100+ machines - soon ready for public release with Xfce 4.8
thru 4.12, TrinityDE, IceWM, and JWM using custom slackfree, unix-libre, and
GNU/Linux-libre kernels.

Your stated concern was:
You follow the instructions on Trisquel, and now DOZ is installed, and
listed in your applications list. Since everything worked flawlessly, you
assume DOZ is fine, because you just installed it using Trisquel.
Which suggests to me you don't understand the purpose
I assume you are asking this to me ssdclickofdeath :)
I installed Xfce 4.12 recently but 4.10 looks exactly the same.

Java is considered an enterprise programming language. If you want to be a
programmer who goes in to work every day in a suit and tie, its for you.
I love Python for the elegance of the language. The issue of performance is
not big of an issue if you convert to C via Cython or use the PyPy

to be added (note: by doing the same thing as what I linked to I think you
can remove applets as well)?

Trisquel is my only OS and has been since 2012. I do not write code and would
be considered an average end user rather than a power user by most people
who work in IT.
The issue with VirtualBox is not an installer (Debian takes care of
installation anyway). It's that the BIOS has a nonfree build dependency.
If the goals is FSF libre, then only use main. As onpon pointed out contrib
contains a mixture of free and non-free. Virtualbox is an example, it is
free, but uses a non-free installer. You could use 4.1 or older and have a
libre version as well.
You could also, review the license of
I've been using Windows since I was a kid, from Windows 95 to now Windows 8.
I had never heard about free or proprietary software until a few months ago.
It all started when I searched for alternative operating systems as I was
very disappointed with Win 8.
Then I stumbled upon GNU/Linux
Not contrib
Purely free GNU/Linux operating systems have been the only ones I've used

was a beginner, and found Trisquel to be quite user-friendly. You won't ever
need to touch the terminal unless you want to, so don't worry
I can't comment on Mac OS X, but I think Trisquel is much more user-friendly
than Windows. You just don't see it that way because you're used to Windows.
:) Granted, the GNOME Flashback environment is a little more primitive; you
might appreciate GNOME Shell, KDE Plasma, or Cinnamon, which
Thanks for you replies so soon. And I appreciate you being so supportive. Is
there anyone who has used this operating system everyday as his/her only OS?
How many of you users are beginners like me?
Just use main. contrib contains software that's libre, but typically useless
without stuff from non-free, or otherwise intended for use with proprietary
programs.
tonlee - Debian by default is 100% free software. If you want to screw it up
you have to manually modify /etc/apt/sources.list to add contrib and
non-free. Both contrib and non-free are full of non-free shajt.
Another way to ruin Debian is to install some non free app external to Debian

Consider if learning a couple of terminal commands (you don't need to by the
way, with Trisk) or dumping a couple of proprietary applications to do your

Hello, I would like to congratulate you on taking the first step. The sooner
you get out from the proprietary software trap, the less hooked you will be
on these applications that seem out of reach and the less inconvenient free
software will feel to you.
I am not the stereotype that
You should dislike proprietary applications for the same reasons you dislike
proprietary operating systems.

Don't fear the terminal. But if you don't want to use it, you don't need to.
Just expect to be limited by the boring GUIs.

I can't comment on user friendliness compared to Windows or OS X because I
don't use them. I can comment, however, that Trisquel is derived from Ubuntu
which has the reputation of being “user-friendly”.
I do not like the term “user-friendly”, but I do not oppose it on ethical
reasons. It

Do you guys think Trisquel is already user-friendly enough for the
masses? You know, like will it be as user friendly as Windows? People
who aren't really familiar with Windows tend to get a grip on it easily,
same goes with Mac OS. Something tells me the hype behind those OSes
helps them to get a
Super agree on that! Hype indeed is a major player on both of those
distros I said.

Windows just has a lot of users, so whenever someone is confused, they ask
the person next to them.
Check (for instance with the Synaptic package manager in the System

There is a list of free software applications in the FSF website. It will be

Are you running with the Python that comes with Trisquel (CPython) or
something like PyPy?
As often as not, I'm just too lazy and too much of a dumb blonde to bother
opening Synaptic when it is so much easier to just type sudo apt-get
