The GIMP and Inkscape are famous but great.
Besides them I really like the various viewers of OpenStreetMap, like Marble,
openstreetmap-client, emerillon and the editors for the same, like
merkaartor.

GitLab got a C and GNU Savannah got an A as well. They gave Savannah an A
probably because its their product even though its inferior to the majority
of Git services (GitHub or local GitLab) out there.

I love "Back in Time", I guess its somewhat famous, but I think its way
better than the stock Backup app and easier to use than command-line backup
apps.

Greetings all! Has anyone been able to get bookmark syncing to work in either
Abrowser or Icecat with the the latest Trisquel distro? Seems with Abrowser
it just hangs on login and with Icecat you need to login everytime you wish
to sync.
Is anyone else seeing this? Any options on how I

Hey all,
I've ended up placing app icons on the very bottom of my screen (one on
purpose and one accidentally) but I can't figure out how to remove
them... when I right-click I get Launch and Properties, with no option
to delete/remove...
Any thoughts? Thanks.

forum in launchpad to discuss there which packages do you want me to upload.
of course if you want me to update a package, you have to provide me

That doesn't sound good. Did you format the drive? What file system did you
put on it?
This file: lsmod.txt is it from the hard drive install, or the LiveCD? My
guess is that it is from the LiveCD, since you can't run commands so easily

Ok then I can skip the installation of another kernel.
Your right I had a USB drive attached and unplugged it without unmounting it
properly.
I executed dmesg again without the USB drive and attached the output again.

Hi all,
I’m a new users of Trisquel, and I’d like to give it a thorough tryout — I do
like it a lot so far. My question is about firewalls and related security
items — I’ve done some research and now I have specific questions.

to maintain snap packages then why not? It is still free software so the
issue is only with the technology and not the ethics.

reasons. I don't think it had anything to do with science. Also, note that
it's not like a secular nation suddenly became religious; it's just that the

Indeed. Sad, but we just have go go by the reputation of specific journals
and publishers. If someone doesn't have a reputation, we just have to assume
that they are not credible.
I'm not a Snap packaging expert. Do you mean, for instance, getting the
source code of the latest version of VLC and make a Snap package and
introduce it for those who want having the latest version of VLC on Trisquel?
There is no debate.
