Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I change the boot order so that my libreboot boots first from the USB drive?

If that's the only reason you're switching, Parabola or Debian 9 (avoiding the non-free and contrib rebos) might work for you, and unlike Ubuntu will respect your freedom.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I change the boot order so that my libreboot boots first from the USB drive?

The reason I'm switching from Trisquel is to get away from bugs, actually. Also, I never did figure out how to navigate y'all's user manual.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How to manipulate graphics settings from CLI?

no, there is no brightness option to adjust. The "Brightness & Lock" menu only reveal: "Turn screen off when inactive for:" and "Lock" for user to select a task.

Can't you adjust the brightness from "Brightness & Lock" in the "System Settings"?

[Trisquel-users] Re : why is anonymous torrent software not available?

They do. But sharing gigabytes of Hollywood movies/series through Tor is bad: you are turning the network slower for everyone else, in particular those who really have a good use of it (whistle blowers, journalists, political dissidents, etc.). Please use a VPN instead.

The mps-youtube method that was mentioned above seems to be working quite well for me, although there are some vids it doesn't seem to be able to pull and it seems to crash out completely if I search the name of most well-known musical artists (e.g. Pink Floyd, Metallica).

I couldn't agree with this more, usename343. There can be no possible justification for Firefox/Icecat sucking up half of my real RAM when there is only one webpage open, JS or no JS. Someone seriously needs to dig into the source and see what that thing is doing - its memory management is a

I will have to agree with that. I also try to find lightweight software such as lxde and vlc, etc... but when it came to browsing the best thing I found was icecat (firefox) so I just had to suck it up and use it. It always bothers me when I open up system monitor and it says it is using 500

aMule is not a BitTorrent client. Have you tried Trisquel's default client, Transmission? There is not much to learn: open a .torrent file (that you typically find on the Web), optionally define where to download and with what priority and you are done.
