There's always PureOS. Based on Debian testing and endorsed by the Free
Software Foundation. Runs flawlessly on my Libreboot x200 and the software
repos are nice and up to date.

I hope you don't expect me to respond to that with some fact-filled defense,
as I have no clue what your are talking about and you've given me no source
or info I could possibly check up on.
Wasn't Devuan hacked by some "green hackers"? Is it safe to use?
I would vote for basing off of Devuan. With Debian and Ubuntu you are locked
into too many of RedHat's walled garden technologies going forward.
Mixing Trisquel's repository with Debian's is a recipe for problems. If the
version in Trisquel 9 is recent enough, it is wiser to adopt that newer
version of Trisquel, for instance executing in a terminal:
$ sudo sed -i 's/flidas/etiona/' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt update &&
sudo
The problem is not the driver, which must be under the GNU GPL, when
distributed with the rest of the kernel. The problem is the firmware, which
is not really part of the kernel. It is a separate binary file that the
kernel simply sends to the peripheral to be executed there (not on the

For what it's worth, 10 years ago I was running my old laptop with Windows 7.
Using 3g internet, I would usually get 3Mbps. When I started using Ubuntu
10.04, I noticed my speeds would get about 7Mbps. I even called my ISP to ask
if this could be related to any illegal access my "linux

Hello,
I made a research about the driver RTL8192CU. I found the source code under
GPL 2 license here:

I'm attaching some pictures from the loaded kernel modules. I would say it is
free software,
You can also go to https://h-node.org to see if your specific model works
with free software.
I've done this mkdir command because the english Ubuntu told it, but I wanted
to see what was going on in /media/user .
Before my unfortunate reboot, I saw that when I was booting my extra hard
drive after this mkdir command, I had both My_hard_drive as a folder and
My_hard_drive1 as a
Size of a video is determined by a lot of factors like resolution, algorithms
used to compress the video, how dynamic it is, etc.
Still, that difference is huge. Maybe Windows was downloading updates in the
background? The support for 7 is technically over, but it might still try to
get

With unmounted media, sudo mount -a said the mounting point was not existing,
I thought this was normal.
Is /media/user/My_hard_drive an existing directory? If not, try to create
it:
$ sudo mkdir /media/user/My_hard_drive
That said, /media is supposed to be for removable media. You may
Indeed. Especially if the resolutions of the two videos were different.
Isn't it supposed to mount all filesystems listed in the filesystem table
file /etc/fstab ?
So yes, I didn't have any mount of the extra hard drive at all when it was
unmounted.
But I suppose it was only when I reboot Trisquel when my extra line in fstab
is considered.
It is a real mess
It was two different videos. One was recorded with skype (UK), the other
recorded from a mobile internet live stream platform (US).
I just assumed youtube was the same for all videos. Silly me.
Have you been watch the same video using Losedows and GNU/Linux respectively?
If not, we can't draw any conclusion. Because different video clips may have
very different coding parameters.
Today watching a 1hr10m youtube video and downloading email and some surfing
resulted in 1.433 GB download with a Win 7 Thinkpad x200 laptop.
Then using my Linux Trisquel machine to watch a 1 hour youtube video and some
surfing resulted in 199.58 MiB download on a Thinkpad x60 laptop.
How
The exact number of space(s) is unimportant.
But since you already added the new disk to /etc/fstab, why should you invoke
# mount -a command?
PS : I don't know how many spaces I have to do when writing the line in fstab
between the differents informations.
I hope it's not this.
Hi everyone,
I wanted to intall an extra hard drive for the system.
So after fully formated my hard drive in ext4, I've changed the /etc/fstab
for this HD to automatically be mounted when I boot.
I carefully took the UUID of my HD by doing a sudo blkid before.
I also saved a fstab.bak
Before purchasing any Nvidia card, be sure to go to Wikipedia to see what
chipset is the card based on. For example, you can search for pages named
something like "Nvidia GeForce 700 Series" (However, I can't do this for you,
because Wikipedia has been completely censored in China one year
There have been already so many posts discussing this issue. I'm also
negative toward Ubuntu as a base.
If you prefer Debian, you can use it anyway. The main freedom issue of Debian
is the existence of the (unofficial) non-free repository which provides
non-free firmware. But it's not
Enjoy!
My internet connection was down since Monday, that feeling of having the
lights back and flashing is not to be underrated.
Hello, glad to see you in Trisquel Forum! As far as I know, this issue
is often discussed already. Personally, I don't think changing base
would accelerate or enhance Trisquel development especially for now.
And let's suppose it happens, next time somebody could come and could
say similar thing
Looking at https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html it sounds Debian
is far better than Ubuntu in case of respecting freedom. Furthermore Debian
is a community based project whereas Ubuntu is commercial distribution owed
by Canonical Ltd. So, I think we should prefer Debian as a base
