that's even better.
I really want to try it.
Btw, speaking of useability:
my printer used to not work properly either on windows or mac. On my Trisquel
Netinstall, I just plugged it in with not much hope, and not only it printed,
but it printed without the previous issues!
So that was cool
I see. Gnome3 classic is really the most suited because activities can still
be accessed from the classic menu (1 more click, but it becomes a
secondary/last resort tool, so it's fine). Sure there is also Mate/Cinammon,
supposed to be lightweight/oldschool/more flexible, but if they're not
Thanks!
I've personally have broken the desktop bar in my first use of Trisquel.
Trisquel 6? That's a bug in that version of GNOME Fallback, not a mistake you
made. GNOME Flashback doesn't even offer an option to have no panels; the
last remaining one can't be deleted.
The problem resolves itself
To me, it depends on what kind of user we're talking about.
GNU/Linux is reliable, but not so much (in comparison) if you don't know what
you're doing.
The downside of its flexibility is that it's a bit easier to break. Other
than that, it's know to be as solid/reliable as it gets.
My
Interesting, really. I just watched a video introduction.
Provided The activities menu is replaced by a classic menu (at least the
shape of it is more familiar),
it looks really good and practical. And since it's harder to customize/break,
it's even better. Not for my personal use, but I
Provided The activities menu is replaced by a classic menu
Incidentally, GNOME Classic does that. :) GNOME Classic being a small
collection of extensions for GNOME Shell to make the experience more
traditional.
I suppose it's not Trisquel's default because it wasn't yet mature enough
yep I wholeheartedly agree.
If you are attempting to use software that will hand control over your
computer to its developer then you have a bigger problem thereof than whether
it “breaks”.
so then why do you prefer to use proprietary software?
You are the one that makes these claims yourself in the irc channel. You
sure are quite the character lol.
It's not that GNU/Linux isn't rock solid, it's that it's less automated, less
dumbed down, more in the way between the user and the work. Flexibility is a
double-edged sword.
The multiplicity of hardware support (sometimes without free drivers) is not
a problem that proprietary OSs have to

well said.
Exactly. Kill it with fire..
I wouldn't say a bigger problem (since it's it less used than Windows), but a
problem nonetheless:

Also the users are snooty because it's the main marketing claim. Many buy it
just for that. Some do so more for professional reasons though
Agreed.
I'll add that in order to make people break free from it,
I think one of the most important aspects for gaining wider use is top-notch
useability (or idiot-proofability).
People do not want to have to fix their computer, ever.
Everything is just plug and play and works.
Apple controls
Apple is just as bad as Microsoft, and its operating systems are all just as
bad as Windows. They're not as popular, though, except maybe for iOS. Also,
you don't have the open source boosters throwing nitpicks at Apple stuff, for
some reason (probably just because they've built up a bias
It`s indeed a golden cage. I couldn`t say otherwise.
Golden cages can be broken, it`s hard, but possible, once users realize
Apple doesn`t care for them.
Apple's things are like normal things, except that they have a perceived
value (NOT price) of being from Apple.
So the users have a
What the fuck is going on in thread?
I am religious but I am not psychotic. Quite frankly I don't think I would be
alone in my group of thinking corporations go way too far... and yes I agree
child adult marriage is way nuts...
Thanks for the clarification. They're definitely necessary.
I probably mixed up my feelings with imprecise information (my bad), hence my
previous comments.
It's just that I'm kind of put off by some comments that are not related to
computing and privacy, but to somehow extending the idea
Let us also not forget that with those backdoors gives plenty of potential
for hackers and corporations to enter for whatever reason.
This sounds like a good thing right?

Stating that the FSF doesn't support Windows 10 is like stating that the NRA

I don't trust you.
I was wondering though, could you show what free software projects you
contribute to. I am just wondering. What language is your favorite and what
is 2nd favorite.

Am I the Only one who has a bigger problem with Apple than Windows? The users
are more snooty and anti-Linux, if they know what it is.
As onpon4 said, you need the four freedoms to properly inspect--
Freedom zero is the freedom to run the program for whatever purpose. This
allows you to observe back-doors, etc.
Freedom one is the freedom to study and modify the program. This allows you
to identify and remove malicious

-1? For what? I'm saying is that I'm AGREEING with the 4 freedoms (kinda
reluctantly, but agreeing). You should read twice before taking action,
whoever you are.

I refuse your request. Cuck.

you to your face that I will not do as you wish
Trust me. You would be as little and gentle as a guinea pig. But yeah, find
yourself a forum where a nuthead like you can feel at home. This forum is not
it.
I think the $ implies that greed is bad, which I believe is true.
I think he's implied several times in the past that all men are pedophiles.
Something about men being forced to marry adult women because apparently they
would all marry little girls if they could. I honestly think he's just
trolling.
Am I the only person that's speculated as to whether or not chaos is a
pedophile, and thinks that may be why he goes a step further than most
religious people and says that child-adult marriage should be legal?
But I agree mainly with the freedom to inspect the software. the other
freedoms matter less to me, if at all.
So, you agree with half of freedom 1, but not freedoms 2 or 3? (How about
freedom 0?)
Consider this: suppose you have a program which anyone is able to inspect,
but no one is
There's nothing wrong with selling software, but MS's business tactics are
wrong.
I see that there's a lot of talk around ethics/morality around free software
and free culture (if this is how it's called), and there are probably a ton
of different opinions representing the whole spectrum.

At least from what I am seeing locally, there seems to be a little bit more
interest in systems other than Windows but this is most likely confirmation
bias at work. I do hope that we make some progress, when these new versions
of Windows (or any non-free OS) comes a long it is a great time

please use the troll hole
He does have a point about the killing of civilians:

However, he's going to turn this into a discussion about marrying female
children to men.

It's kinda sad that there isn't a snazzy graphical site like they had for
Win8. :p
Nice statement, though.
This windows release seems particularly disturbing, or maybe I should say
that the lack of outrage and lack of interest in alternatives to windows is.
I stopped fixing my friends' windows computers when Vista came out, so maybe
I'm just naive and inexperienced.
I hope so, anyway.
I hardly pay attention to new Windows releases anymore but here's an article

People have gotten it into their heads that Windows Vista and Windows 8 were
the bad ones, while Windows 7 and Windows 10 are the good ones. For
Windows 7, it's because it was basically just Windows Vista without the
popularly perceived problems (coming too early, being put on hardware that

Their statement about Linux is no-longer true, post systemd.
Same goes for any discussion about, say, marrying female children to men.
I completely agree with you. The emphasis is kept on unimportant issues such
as the start menu.
Do you want this thread to go off topic and turn into another flame war?
It seems like you want it to.
My preferred install procedure for Windows 10 is the same as for Windows
Vista, a quick and easy two-minute procedure:
