No hopelessness here :) I may attempt the SPI flash method to at least knock
out the whitelist. As far as Coreboot, I am not holding my breath for how
long that may take to get 100% working. I know I could probably donate my

I think you have to rule out that there is no problem with your sound
hardware first. Do you have some type of other audio interface like a USB
one? It could be one of those basic ones like this:
Has this ever worked for you? If so what happened/when did it stop working?

After you brought up that the hard disk companies have largly merged up, I
looked into it. Things have changed quite a lot in the last time I bothered

I totally agree about not wanting to stay at a novice level. Normally I like
experimenting! I just don't want to experiment with this particular thing too
much until I have swapped out an M.2 card myself. I have never ever used M.2

Also, a useful thread about guix on trisquel:

guix expects this stuff to be installed using guix itself.
as a regular user (NOT sudo) type:

I think you can also do:
guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales glibc-locales
you should be good to go.

No. Its like all of the screens are overlapped and im unable to reposition

I can confirm that in Trisquel 8, I am able to have all three of my monitors

Thanks. Can I use the Trisquelize script with any existing Ubunto to Trisquel

Can I install Ubuntu 16.04 and run Trisquelize to get Trisquel 8?

If I were to use the trisquelize script on a computer with Ubuntu 18.04 while
Tirsquel 9 has not been released, what would happen?
