It needs to be best which Trisquel is willing to also liberate LMDE, Kali,
FreeBSD, and I am willing to host a build system like the Parabola PCR based
on the Linux-libre and FreeBSD-libre kernels, mainly supporting Parabola and
Trisquel.
I also need to compose my own frpm, Free packages
I think we are all involved. I already posted that we can test the trisquel 8
release and provide feedbacks and bug reports. I had a small bug that I
reported but following updates solved it and I closed it. I am using the 8 as
my main distro on my main home computer. It is stable. For

with good gouvernance is

Talking about the project without the people actually involved in it is a
pure waste of time..
Any ZYpp-libre, urpmi-libre, FreeBSD-libre ones? Connochaet is looked aging
to me, which I also need to be as cutting edged as Parabola (pacman), rpm
(ZYpp and urpmi), FreeBSD.

I may be going a tad off-topic in relation to where the thread's heading but
to answer the 1st question, the "certified" free distros plus maybe Free
Slack?
There is nothing wrong with an LTS release like Ubuntu 16.04 as there are
point release ISOs that bring in newer kernel and xservee installed by
default.
Oh and there's Snap packages.
Yes the "open source" summits are focused too much to software pro, and
SOFTWARE LAYPEOPLE (better for your term "users not also being developers")
are quite unwelcome to those summits. Unlike us, the open source communities
(regardless online forums or offline summits) treat freedoms of
Disroot looks good so far.
At the very least it would be nice if debian would besides the fact of not
entangling the init, would also at the very least have only contrib or better
yet have neither...
meh...
I donated some money to disroot and use their cloud storage. :)
Their security is pretty decent judging by their ciphers compared to most
email providers...
"Cleaning" the Ubuntu main and universe pools? Are the 2 pools come with free
software but which "might" be dependent on nonfree, just like the contrib
pool from Debian?
Though under the Linux-libre kernel, why we still need to manually clean
nonfree? Aren't they auto-removed against our

I was just going to add, why is he asking where are you... this isn't freakin
scooby doo. ;) xD
I am wondering if I need to do anything special to install parabola or devuan
without error...
free software* laptop sound card driver.
Also, a pic for the curious:

It's a little weird that they used a single touchpad button. But the left
side of the single button wasn't clicking well, so I pressed too hard on it,
and now it doesn't work. For the time being, I have switched to a wireless
mouse.
P.S. Another problem is that the sound card isn't that
If you require frequent software updates then don't use Trisquel or any other
LTS distro. For my purposes I find that I do benefit from having the newest
software, so I've switched to Parabola. However, I still support Trisquel and
highly recommend it for the majority of desktop users who

Have you managed to deactivate the screen reader? If so, how?
Hello. Do you think that the bug will be correct with the next Abrowser
version?
I think that for non technical people the companies you mentioned do a good
job. But we should also look forward to the next steps. I am wondering if the
same companies invest to make research on how to free the modern laptop
As I've said elsewhere, my beef with Purism is mostly their name. They're
not purists. It's arguably legitimate to offer maximum freedom currently
possible on current hardware, while striving to get to full freedom including
the BIOS and bootloader. But to not merely imply but to claim
The link you attached is 2015 and the information not completely true. They
do ship with coreboot when the author of the article was pretty sure they
would not do. I saw their hardware listed on the coreboot repo.

Ironically, the reason I know about the free software movement at all is
because the VideoLAN forum guidelines page links to this page:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
Packages from the contrib repository are libre, but have non-free
dependencies, so they can't be used without also using non-free software.
Using a deblobbed kernel is important, but it will not prevent the
installation of other non-free software. In order to be certain that you are

Open source is a development model. Their priority is the production of
technically superior software(?) that the user(?) can leverage upon.
In the process of making the software more powerful(?), it is not(?) a sin in
the open source camp to add bits of proprietary software, including long
*User* (not developer) freedoms are missing from "open source" talks. They
will never be added! You seem to believe that "open source" preexists "free

See https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html like mason suggests.
Although the sections in Ubuntu are better than nothing, they are not
perfect. Trisquel's project is a lot about "cleaning" packages in Ubuntu's
main and universe: https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/ubuntu-purge and
If so, just boot the kernel you want and remove the newer kernels (using the
package manager).
For Abrowser, you could try starting with a profile (where you could import
your bookmarks and so on). For the main menu, there is a utility named "Main
Menu" in the "System Settings" to edit it the way you wish. For the service
failing at init, investigation is needed, like mason wrote.

Hey Magic,
If you look at the dates of some of the posts, I do have a reason to be
worried. That first link was dated "Sun, 10/02/2016 - 13:10"
How am I wrong to STILL be worried after this is still in Alpha?
Like Richard Stallman and his GNU and FSF heavy works, I have also researched
for what are missing from the keyword "open source", i can tell here first,
we will have only freedom of developments like derivatives and packaging, and
freedoms hacking and testing what else are missing, but
I have just now got a research from the official Debian wiki, which contrib
"might" be dependent on nonfree (like most Deb derivatives, for Ubuntu
nonfree is called "restricted" or "multiverse"), though DFSG compitable like
the main pool, but dnt worry I have appended Linux-libre to prevent
39 matches
