About Jitsi from Trisquel, perhaps we can package it to Guix, so that
people with Trisquel can also test Guix, and an updated Jitsi.
I'm not making promises though, this is just an idea.

I know Jitsi from the time when I was still at Ubuntu. After reading this
thread, I decided to try it againt, so I went to Add/Remove Applications menu
from Trisquel 7, found Jitsi, and installed it right away... version 2.4.4997
from year 2013.

Hmm, too bad Trisquel 7 is not working well on your hardware. I have Debian
Jessie (current stable) installed on a 2004 laptop, Intel GPU, Intel Celeron

"But the software and the licenses are basically the same."
That was my point.
Libre software is so much better though.
Security and privacy wise. That is why I choose free software over crappy
proprietary software and even open source software.
Yes you have a good point, I guess I was saying when it was under google's
control you could use it through free software more safely and securely, but
I was mostly wrong, to think that.
I say mostly, because microsoft probably is/and has made such a product ten
times worse.

My advice would be
1. Definitely go preinstalled,way less hassle because everything "just works"
2. Avoid dual booting if at all possible, or have windows on a completely
separate machine from your gnu/linux one.
3. Definitely run a FSF recommended distro or at worst, Debian. Why? Because

that would be better.
Agreed Calm, if skype was it's own thing instead of being owed for one of

Virtualbox was free software when Trisquel 6.0 was new and shiny but is not
available on Trisquel 7.0 for good reasons.
Dual booting is a much bigger hassle than using a virtual machine. You can
try Gnome Boxes or just the lazy man's command line route:

As far as I understand, Skype's proprietary protocol has not been
reverse-engineered, so it is not possible to chat through that network
without Skype. You'll have to use an alternative network (e.g. XMPP).
Just flash drives. Actually, any flash media (also including SD cards, for
example, and even to a lesser extent most SSDs). What Magic Banana refers to
is that any given bit on flash media can only be changed so much before it
becomes useless, so writing to flash media effectively brings it

What ever distro you decide to use (nod towards Trisquel), perhaps you could
volunteer some time with Business Admin. tasks as well. I'm sure Ruben would
appreciate it.
Thanks for clarifying Magic, would a external hard drive be killed if I did
that or just flash drives? Flash drives are now off the table, it's either
dual boot, vm, external hard drive or pre installed
Parabola is nice, just keep in mind that rolling release requires attention

> Onpon are you referring to Ring?
No, XMPP is an IM protocol that Pidgin, Jitsi, and several others support,
but not Ring. Ring is another perfectly valid option, though (I haven't tried
it).
Right, when you reach that limit, the device can't be used anymore, or at
least can't be written to anymore. That's what I was referring to.
Thanks for the welcome SuperTramp and Heather, I'll be thinking about all
these suggestions, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Don't worry too much if you dual boot for school because you have to.

Hello antarta, as far free software games go, there is Nexuiz (it's somewhat

Also there is this 2D MMORPG called Mana, I just recently started
Thanks everybody for welcoming me warmly. I really appreciate it. I can
assure you that it is my goal to contribute to the community of trisquel as
much as I can. Free software must be adopted by everyone. It's the future.
It's good for everyone.
Hi everyone ! I've been introduced to the philosophy of the FSF a long time
ago and it was stuck in a corner of my head and I've been thinking about it,
a lot. Recently, I realized that I had to free my computing, but there are
some things that I haven't clarified.
1. What's up with 3D
1. You need an older video card with an NVIDIA graphics chipset or Intel
graphics. Not all games for GNU/Linux will work although many of the older
titles will. The 9500GT is a good choice for graphics.
http://libre.thinkpenguin.com/ - 25% of the profits from sales go to
Trisquel.
1) 0 A.D. and Xonotic are high quallity
2) Honestly, this would suck with free software only.
3) Blender can do wonders.
4) There are no limits: As long as you have gcc you can do anything. As a
programmer you can check out FSF high priority project list (
Regarding games, there aren't a huge amount, but some great ones are Xonotic,
MegaGlest, OpenArena, SuperTuxKart, Warzone 2100, Torus Trooper, Tremulous,
Minetest, Red Eclipse, and Ryzom.
Some great non-3D games are many of the games by Kenta Cho (my favorites are
Torus Trooper and Tumiki
Jump in and try to do what ever you want to do. Welcome to freedom!
Well that's my intention :)
It always warms my heart to see another person converted to freedom. Welcome
to Trisquel!
Ditto on the heart-warming, Armworm. I finally joined the forum, but have
been reading a while... lurking? :) I'm not a gamer, but wanted to say hello,
antarta. It's a pleasure to read words of wisdom on a subject near and dear
to my heart... Freedom!

Congratulations for using a GNUoperating system with linux-libre distro.
It protects your freedom by including and recommending only software
that respects it.
Adobe's Flash Player is free as in price but not free as in freedom.

you say as in freedom, i dont understand please explain, please!
What we're talking about is Free Software, or software that respects
essential freedoms that the user of software should always have. All software
in Trisquel's repositories respect these four freedoms.
These freedoms are:
- The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The
But you miss some freedoms =o, such as:
-The freedom to distribute however you want(freedom4)
-The freedom to sue people using your software(freedom5)
those are the ones big companies like apple have with their software, please,

tux, the think free speech not free beer statement is made for those
that confuse the free in free software with being zero price, a confusion
that you yourself seem to have made from the beginning. It's an analogy only.

it I can't sue them :,(, that's what big corparation does, why does we not

I am not.
I'm just saying that if he doesn't want to stick to freedom, what's the point
of using Trisquel?
Freedom refers to your control of your life, not to control of
activities of other people (unless they restrict your freedom).
Others can dislike other activities than you, there is a longer essay
against such restrictions

If you are developing software and releasing it to people, I suggest going

The BSD licenses are the most lax and Apache 2.0 has some patent protection
