When I was on Trisquel for 0.5 years I was disappointed to its aging
packages, so have started using Parabola which is rolling, but fortunately
our Trisquel forum is still active and I have occasionally found our Flidas
alpha these days, which Trisquel is still active and alive. If possible
To t3g,
If you are impatient anymore you should want Flidas alpha first, but you
must accept ‘‘that’’ fate, I am also backing to Trisquel thru Flidas
alpha.

candidated to lead our GNU and FSF
You can't relicense code you don't hold the copyright to.
What does "licenses suspectedly written to us" mean?
Of course I WONT quit our Parabola anymore, but also I am backing to Trisquel
tonight.
"freeware" and "free software" are not the same thing. "Freeware" typically
refers to software which is available at no charge.
I don't know what you mean by "take denials against Torvalds".
Do you mean that, nonfreeware packages those aren’t blobs should be mostly
‘‘nonfree’’ due to their licenses suspectedly written to us? If so we
should need to re-license these nonfreeware sources under GPL to be free
software?
There is not yet an GNUinOS.Openbox.amd64.iso, but anyway I have been on on
Parabola, Hyperbola, Trisquel, Devuan, GNUstep OS, FreeSH, Uruk, LibertyBSD,
these free systems projects are up to now enough to me, but I am still open
to newer free systems projects and thanks.
For Debian and hence also Devuan, their testing is like a sense of rolling
systems (but of course and in contrary their stable is LTS), and I mean
making Parabola PCR to be a build system for every free software systems.
Anyway and in my honesty I wont quit Parabola anymore, which I need to

I have a better idea, make a devuan fork like gnuinos only, make it have two
different stages, experimental and rolling release.
And make it free software in every way. make it the reverse of hyperbola
gnu/linux is to parabola gnu/linux.
look up hyperbola.info to get an idea...
Ah ok, but I completely uninstalled it.
I think that the wiki of Sakaki is very good.
If you have an external way to flash the firmware then you are quite safe,
unless you make mistake on the connection. But it is quite difficult.
I reflashed the firmware many many times with incremental changes and I had
always a backup ready. One
Thanks for the information. If you ever change your mind about sharing the
howto, I think having the information consolidated in a clear guide would be
very valuable as well. I have wanted to deactivate the ME on my x230 for a
while but haven't had the courage yet.
The librem 5 is funded.
It shows insterest in libre software phones.

It was unfortunate, Stallman was mentioned in an seeming supportive context.

You can't use Parabola's repository with Trisquel, and there is no reason to

migration scripts will only work for the intended version of Ubuntu. If you
want to use Debian or Devuan you can just remove "non-free"
After the live system boots, if you wait enough (30s?) without touching the
keyboard/mouse, the screen reader starts (Trisquel assumes you are blind).
Ca, you disable it from the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" in the "System

You won't find a silver bullet that that magically removes all non-free
packages and leaves you with a working system. Even if you used deblob-check
to test all source code for blobs and found that everything flagged is either
unnecessary or can be rebuilt with the blobs removed, you would
Hello, I recently acquired a Thinkpad T400 with Libreboot and Trisquel 7
installed. It also has an Atheros AR5B95 wireless card. Basically my question
is this: I want to have this machine be fully dedicated to Linux and FSF
approved software. In general, I would like to add any additional
Trisquel is not a rolling release distro, niether is the distro it is based
on. If you want cutting edge use Parabola, it doesn't mean there is something
wrong with Trisquel.
vrms doesn't work on Linux Mint. Mint uses its own packages which are jumbled
in sections with no regard to whether they're libre or not, and those
sections are what vrms depends on to work.
PS on here a nice discussion:

Also, found out that YouTube seems to make the webpage refresh and
revert the copy-paste stack of your operating system if you happen to
copy some text from inside the videos' webpages. So I do agree: Avoid
YouTube all-together, and also avoid sharing YouTube links. ;)

what does the Guix-install.sh
It's an executable script, run it and it will install Guix for you ;-)
As mentioned in a thread about waiting for Trisquel 8, I just put a new SSD
disk in my old Aspire One, and I'm trying Uruk 2.0 alpha as a live disk.
Based on what I've read here, and my experiences using Cinammon and Mate with
Mint, I'm definitely going to try an install to the new drive.
There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions available to download on the
project page.

Your alpha was out this June with LXQt mini ISO missing, but your beta is not
yet ready, so before beta is aired I also want Parabola PCR to be available
for Trisquel since Flidas beta, with surely mini is available with LXQt.
Parabola is rolling, whose

I have just quit Trisquel and have been afterwards staying in Parabola, this
is my dissatisfaction to years ago Trisquel software. Unlikely Parabola ships

The vrms program will analyze the set of currently-installed packages on a
Debian system, and report all of the packages from the non-free tree (and,
optionally, from contrib) which are currently installed.
The vrms package is however somewhat misleading since its name suggests it
has to do
Honestly Parabola is NOW the best free system to me, even over Trisquel,
limited to LTS the old Belenos is quite aging and I need to back to Trisquel
thru Flidas alpha.
Hi gd_scania,
FYI, vrms follows Debian's definitions of free software rather than that of
the GNU project.[1]
Richard M Stallman ** DOES NOT ** agree with many of the views expressed by
the program's output. Free Software Foundation lists vrms among packages that
don't respect its Free
GNU GuixSD is NOT YET productional and not recommended to you unless you
accept this fate, but I am willing to get help porting the GNU Guix package
manager to Parabola, Trisquel, Devuan, Uruk and will be a project under my
FreeGit.
