X60s is the best option I believe. Usually the s version of X60 or X200,
etc... has more battery life. That's my personal opinion.
Libreboot devices are the safest/most secure that I can think of.
Until the eoma68 standard comes out with a laptop. Hopefully not just that
a20 processor. :)
Absolutely agree 100% Librem is not free hardware.
I am curious why Tehnoetic's tct doesn't have that in his avatar.
Odd yes?
Anyways, x200 is better if librebooted although, gnome 3 in my opinion sucks.
And for those who don't know, I am not saying due to its requirements. It is
more becaus
Libreboot is the best for that purpose,
minifree.org, https://store.vikings.net/
are good choices for libreboot devices. Tehnoetic though has some models that
those two don't have. But yeah... those are good.
I myself use an x200 and it works great for most of my uses.
Best of all, no intel
I would look at the prices on minifree. To be honest you probably only need
4gb of ram unless your a developer/power user.
4 will work fine for virtualization if needed. otherwise it should be more
than enough.
ps, 32 bit is a bad idea I wholeheartedly agree. :/
Well, I am impressed Quidam, how did you go from, testing, to stable in 12
days?
Doesn't testing to stable usually take a whole lot longer? It does in debian
anyways...
hmm... Let's test this on my other laptop.
PS, T3g if you are looking at this thread, you can stop complaining and just
upgrade. ;)
That would make sense. For such basic use 2gb should be fine.
Libreboot devices are refurbished in general.
I got mine from libiquity, but he only sells x200 libreboot devices, same
though with the vikings.net store, just cheaper.
Sometimes discounts occur and the rest I dunno...
MagicBanana may answer better than I on this stuff.
I didn't completely follow, still...
I just felt someone should say that in case t3g didn't know. :)
He will probably in a year or so complain about trisquel 9 not being
released. Just a guess...
I probably donated my share here a while back, at one point it was 5$ a month
for a while, and at one point 15$
I think I probably donated 50$+
And yes, liberapay.com is an excellent idea. I would bet you guys would get
anywhere from 100$ to 1k a month if you did this. :)
Well, the trisque
I succeeding in installing it on my netbook so yeah your probably right.
This probably is either an error or some sort of joke or better yet, for when
it becomes eol for real.
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly.
I highly recommend having WinXP disconnected from the internet when possible.
:/
Openwatcom is terrible, I wish that someone would freakin fork Virtualbox's
source code in such a way that openwatcom and any other garbage is no longer
required.
That would be so awesome.
Never, EVER connect windows xp in a vm to the internet. Just asking from
trouble to do so...
As long as you don't do that, or add some dangerous .exe file into the guest
windows xp vm, you should be okay I think.
Unless you have intel me in your laptop of course... ;/
I agree, this thread should stay dead. This is the last time I will reply,
for this reason...
however, I felt the need to point out, that the thread where I lost interest
in fighting about systemd is, here:
read this comment from that thread if you have interest:
https://trisquel.info/en/f
There are no stupid questions Philippe_Duteil.. IS what I would have said
before I realized what the internet is really like.
xD
But anyways, I wonder why Gnome would have no issues with that adapter.
Maybe GNOME isn't as bad as I thought it is. Although it does look clunky
any jokes a
I do recall there being a voice command called festival I believe for
trisquel? Is this what you want?
CAPTCHA IS EVIL! WE MUST DESTROY CAPTCHA AND WE MUST DESTROY ALL NON-FREE
SOFTWARE AND DESTROY EVERYTHING PROPREITARY!
I AM NOT CRAZY FOR TALKING IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS!
AND FOR TALKING ABOUT NUKING ALL NON-FREE PROPREITARY
SOFTWARE!
xD
trolol...
the eoma68 laptop might be a good idea, but it won't be out till november I
believe We shall see if it is as good as is hoped. ;)
I have only had one annoying issue, but I suspect it was an uncommon error:
That I got charged twice and the payment was only corrected, the next day.
Weird indeed, but for the most part, Liberapay is a very, very good idea.
The funny thing, dropbox I always knew was bad. But megasync, it took me
maybe a year or two to learn how dangerous it was. So yeah, I get why he
thought it was safe.
Dropbox though he should have known was a problem...
Dunno why he didn't know that.
Didn't know that dropbox even had gpl software in it...
Okay I guess that's news to me.
Hmm...
Yeah, I agree anything based on gnome 3 is far from light.
My thanks for the correction.
I had no idea about this.
IF you want light, there are two options, XFCE or LXQT
LXDE will be used less and less in the future or I would have mentioned that.
Mate isn't bad though. But XFCE is my favorite, then LXQT takes a hard
second with one exception, LXQT is extremely ugly compared to LXDE.
meh...
I agree with you about upstart and snappy.
But unity wasn't very special.
As for the contributor license agreement, perhaps that was what I was
thinking of when I thought it was non-free.
The crazy thing is,.. Even without the graphics being non-free intel still
gave plenty of hurdles for people to overcome...
It seems they are dead set on this path of proprietary control.
I don't really get why they do it at all, but seriously, graphics used to be
the thing that we could cou
I thought I had replied to this before, but yeah, Ubuntu unlike the
mainstream oses, at least doesn't make your computer into a tyrant. Meaning
you cannot escape it. So to those who say, Ubuntu is bad, there is worse...
;/
Much, much worse options...
I would rather welcome people to use Ub
Alas, LXDE development is being slowed, I wish LXQT would either be made to
look like LXDE,
or
LXDE would be forked to continue in GTK3.
Not that I don't usually prefer XFCE, but yeah, the reason I went with XFCE
is because LXDE was going to be replaced in the near future with LXQT.
Agreed, it is still better than preypal.
And your right, libre software takes time and sometmes has issues in the
beginning.
POWER9 < RISC-V
But both are better for the most part.
I am curious, do you think you will ever be able to put libreboot on one of
those 2 in 1 laptops in the future?
I am curious not because I need one, but because its a thing of interest to
me. To know for the future. Recommendations, etc...
I also think there should be a term for software that can be made free but
not without tweaks.
non-free but can become free.
Not sure what that would be without sounding dumb though. ;)
laptop-mode-tools.
Enough said.
:)
Proprietary I think of as having no freedoms whatsoever or no way to regain
all four freedoms.
non-free I think of as being semi-free but possibly workable.
Example: Ubuntu
I mean trisquel is a fork now of ubuntu. so yeah...
That's just me.
Jxself, I wasn't trying to be a whitewasher,
I am merely saying, there are different levels of evil with regard to
non-free stuff.
Some are worse than others obviously such as microsoft and google and apple.
Then there are gnu/linux distros that have more in common with linux that gnu
phil
Sure, that's fine, but do read my above post to see what I am getting at.
But yeah my other responses aside, he does make a good point.
Oh really, So your telling me this isn't just a tv show, it is actual
reality?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smurfs
Cool man, this knowledge opens up so many possibilities although if anyone
finds them they will probably turn them into gold...
;p
couldn't resist...
xD
I agree Jodiendo, we need more smurfs, but people will just use things like
facts and scientific data to say there is no such thing as smurfs...
darn...
xD
Using a proprietary os in a virtual machine is bad, but connecting that os
also to the internet is much, much worse.
And worse still is to install the proprietary os as your main os, that is the
worst of all...
Virtual Machines are the better option, and I know I have been guilty of this
Jxself isn't bobcall.me the email for RISC-ATOM the person who maintains
librecmc?
Are you really him?
Just wondering.
Ah okay, well that makes sense. I am curious though why you had that domain
in your email. at all...
But yeah, it is fascinating to me.
xfburn or dd are my recommendations.
personally I now use usb flash drives + dd.
Best solution ever... for me anyways.
You have far more patience then I could with regard to police.
I feel like they are no better than, common criminals, and I am not even a
minority skin color.
Which shouldn't matter, white or not, everyone should be treated the same
sort of way with regard to justice...

I used to like LXDE the most, but yeah, it was when they decided to move to
qt5 I decided to go to xfce4.
XFCE is almost as light and supports changing desktop wallpaper depending on
duration. That is why I use XFCE now.
That and, LXDE is going to be no longer supported... ;(
Although mayb
I respectfully disagree, I really don't like LXQT's interface. it is majorly
ugly.
no offense.
XFCE should be the next mini I think.
This is true. I just wish that they could make Lxqt have an option to look
like LXDE. I wonder why this hasn't been thought of...
Hmm it may be proprietary. But I could be wrong, it might just require more
tweaking/workaround(s)
but regardless, it most likely is still non-free to some form.
Like a superman without a weakness? (1950's superman aka) ;P
In all seriousness though, lxde isn't dead but it will become dead in the
near future unless someone forks it. ;)
I don't have nearly enough interest or skill to do so. Besides, XFCE4 is
fine with me. :)
OR, you could do, sudo aptitude remove file. file being the thing you want to
remove. If it is a problem it won't let you do it. that's the honest truth.
In my previous experience anyways.
I cannot pinpoint all of them, I just find plasma ugly that's all.
plus, I like GTK icons/themes for some reason.
I use lxdm and lightdm
Noscript is a good one, Ublock origin and privacy possum are also really
smart choices.
Ghostery is a really, really bad idea.
I don't like most of the desktop environments. I only really like XFCE, LXDE
and Budgie.
Qt is fine for some purposes, but not desktop environments. That's my opinion
anyways.
Yes, Ghostery is proprietary software.
The same way as WOT...
and this is no joke. alas.
Do you like unity that much? Just wondering.
I forget what it looks like though. and I believe ubuntu is going to abandon
it in the future if it hasn't already.
I may be wrong, but I have heard people on this forum say such things.
Google is the most fascinating, of the enemies of free software, to me
anyways... for one reason:
They hire people who work on coreboot, and give them some freedom, they use
free software licenses in malicious ways, and most of all, they track so many
people across the world, its hard to beli
Privacy possum is like privacy badger, but way better.
Please use noscript, and if the blocking gets to be too much, put it in allow
all globally dangerous scripts. You still get a fair amount of protection
that way.
I thought telegram was non-free because of the server it connects to.
Umatrix is more complicated no doubt, but I think you should look up what
noscript actually is.
Noscript has a crap ton of security protections, and moreover, it is usually
a script blocker.
You should if nothing else, use it in that mode.
It really is a recommended security addon.
"I see no reason for Trisquel's developers to waste their time on a dead
project like Unity."
You mean like Gnome 3?
;p
Yes I know that gnome 3 is still being worked on, but it looks rather,
bloated. To be blunt, I don't get why people like it.
I am curious how you apply user.js in firefox esr 52
Aww, but people love necroing! so much so that they thumb me down many times
when I do it.
but seriously, it is amusing at times when people necro. ;)
That sounds absurd.
Trisquel does have issues, but that one I doubt is it.
librepup is outdated I thought though...
I used xiphos before also, try bibletime if that doesn't work.
See
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/install-extension-link-wiki-page-abrowser-addon-random-agent-spoofer-not-working-me#comment-134181
That's a legacy addon. It will not work with abrowser due to it being a
firefox quantum fork.
Unless people using Hyperbola, legacy addons will not work. or if you use
basilisk which is and I quote, "not free software"
You know what, I used to be in the mindset of thinking such thoughts were
foolish, but meltdown and spectre are the first of many flaws in intel, so I
will likely be jumping ship someday with you.
Tell me something, what do you think about Eoma68's chances of success?
NVIDIA, is worse than intel in one way at least, they have always been
hostile to free software way beyond what they need to be, Intel and AMD

you using firefox 52 esr.
Draconian laws indeed, how can they be considered free trade agreements? They
are clear not free at all. DCMA is evil anyways.
Do what stallman recommends, or use eclipse or idle3 or some other libre
alternative.
This is curious, I am surprised...
Is guix more stable then Parabola or more unstable then Parabola or as
unstable as Parabola testing? curious I am.
Here is the best type of controller adapter for gnu/linux systems including
debian, trisquel and hyperbola.

There are a fair amount of products on this website that work out of the box
without any issues. I have some experience with one of the n64 adapters.

I had thought as much...
That thread was given about as much respect as this one:

You shouldn't block only people who might disagree with
Interesting, something to look into for the future I guess. :)
Man, you need to chill out, I was only saying that they should have locked
the thread or left it open to everyone.
geez, and stop telling me what to do man, you are not my master.

of anti-systemd inits, just don't do it in anger.
If you like systemd, good for you, I just don't get why at the drop of a coin
I make a joke about it, and you guys go to town on me.
You can do the same thing, just
Conspiracy theories aside, I don't know if systemd is a backdoor or not, I
just prefer not use it,
but tell me, why has devuan succeeded in getting community support when
fedora's and
ubuntu's systemd-free forks failed?
Just wondering what your thoughts are.
Okay, but what advantages does systemd have then that makes it worth changing
to besides being easier on developers.
I honestly don't see any so far, other than that its easier on the
developers. I have seen more cons than pros personally.
But actually I read devuan's position and without-
Do you have a password for when the laptop first boots up?
I think there is a way, but I will post if nothing else to keep thread alive.
Nope, you can always reinstall the system if you think your locked out.
That's just one way, if you don't know how to burn an iso, just buy one from
thinkpenguin.com
It is extremely easy to reinstall even when I was a noob to gnu/linux, it was
easier than fedora.
That's my only complaint with devuan to be honest.
Alright, I had no idea that the answer I looked up was wrong.
The cons mentioned are either from the web links I mentioned, with one
exception,
Removing systemd completely including library files is near impossible in
debian.
Even if you are installing sysvinit or openrc combo in exchange.
I think ubuntu choose systemd because debian did.

Let's necro this thread for fun!
Just so you know, I did make a joke, it was about callousness of microsoft,
and callousness of systemd devs.
and I should have been more clear, if you need to make fun of anti-systemd
people rather than inits, which I am sure you do, there is no problem, ps, I
have nothing against vegans.
