I never said so.
I think it also harms the society as whole. It for example teaches people
dependence and exposes their privacy. It gives publicity for proprietary
software. And then absolutely horrible file formats become "standards", like
OOXML.
There was a project to develop h-node client. I don't know how that is going.
I think one should be in the default install of all free distros, that way we
would get a relatively large body of usable information. It could also
include benchmarks.

I don't think that site gives a crap about freedom. It doesn't mention

Maybe we could start that as part of the h-node.

One is enough but please enlighten me!
Regarding the hangs, you could test your memory. Boot from Trisquel live
media and you're offered that option. Leave it running over night or so.

sockets, then we get into the twilight zone. One another cause could be

The process is the same on GNU Linux-libre and Linux.
Try opening heavy apps, like LibreOffice and abrowser with many tabs. Then
you should see a non-zero value.
Also, suspend is not using disk but RAM, hibernate goes to disk.

it probably is safe to upgrade for everybody else. Not upgrading certainly is

It does. Load a module that requires a proprietary firmware. Only Linux-libre
will not suggest you install such.
You make it sound like that's by design. It's not. In fact it is a bug, a
very low priority one. AFAIK
Hello! This /proc/cmdline is just the file. To see what's in it youcat

The sudo command gives you super user powers. Hence https://xkcd.com/149/
So, how exactly does your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line read at the moment?
Sounds like you didn't read the logs or try manually loading the module.
Dunno if the latter is even possible in this case.

I'd say take the non-technical approach. Talk to your professor and explain

Welcome to freedom. Congratulations for making the decision.

If you see any graphics on screen then you have 2d. And some 2d acceleration
method is being used. Which one works best depends on what card you have.
(and what kernel and what xserver versions you have)
The only way to find out is to try. Unless there is a massive difference you
have to
That probably is so but if you look at the name of the preference in
question, you see it's acceleration method, not whether to use acceleration.
For example go here (random example)

Note the channel called "Easy Hits Florida"? One of the playlist formats they
offer is M3U. Right click the link, copy link location.
Pop open a terminal, mkdir you a new folder and cd into it. Then run wget
I haven't used curl but expect it would also be able to use lists.
Try totem or mplayer. If it's a networking problem, you could point e.g. wget
to start getting the file and then after it has gotten a chunk of it as a
buffer start watching the file as it downloads.
Well, a m3u(8) is but an ascii list of files, local or remote. So, acquire
the m3u file and feed it to wget -ib to get the contents and then point your
media player of choice to the downloaded file(s). (You could parse the m3u to
make a local playlist for the media player.)
You could boot off a live cd/usb and use gparted. If you have a Trisquel
media, you will find gparted there.
Coreboot uses blobs on some systems, I wonder if that's the case here or not.
Hence libreboot.

Virtualbox, which depends on a non-free compiler since version 4.2. These are
things that seem to be wrong at a glance.
Probably the easiest way is to go the other way around. Install a bare bones
system and then tack on xfce.
Unfortunately no. It's 2D acceleration.

You should read the instructions more carefully, they state that virtualbox
is not in Trisquel 7 as it depends on non-free software now.
That's the bottom line.
No need to apologize my friend, it's all good interesting stuff! Glad to hear
your boxes are running again. Enjoy your holiday!
Congrats, doesn't it just feel great?
It probably doesn't exist. But you can create one if you wish. Just edit a
file with that name (~/.xinitrc) and save it. Make sure you have the
gnome-keyring package installed.
I agree it makes sense to file. You can include in the bug whether making
this file as suggested helps.

Hi there! I'm afraid the answer is mostly no. You're guaranteed to have a bad
experience with an AMD GPU. If you were hoping to switch between the AMD and
the intel GPUs that will at very least require tinkering and might not work.
