What's with the double posting everywhere lately?
Can we have the output of:

?
Let's see if your wireless WIFI adapter does indeed require proprietary
firmware. If so, you will need to either switch it for another (internal)
adapter that doesn't require the nasty nasty blob or buy an external USB wifi
dongle.
It seems to me that you are right. For an OS all the way developed with
user-friendliness as its main motif, that feature is an anti-feature.

You would be correct. Android has no GNU, only linux and a bunch of
proprietary libraries and applications (and a second, hidden, entirely
proprietary OS for the modem part..but, oh well..).

Hi. Basically what you want to check is the GPU and the wifi adapter. The
wifi adapter better be an Atheros AR9xxx or AR5xxx series. The GPU must not,
and I repeat, **must not** be an ATI. All Intel GPUs older than Skylake will
do perfectly fine. Most Nvidia GPUs (I have 0 experience
As pointed out Vim is in the repo. Also, when you have an application in your

All you can do is the downgrade of the kernel to one that is 3.10 or older.
3.10 ended support (no security fixes) so the best you can do is install 3.4
from jxself repository, or compile 3.4 libre on you own.
On all hardware I checked it on glxinfo | grep rendering works just fine.

You can also replace the internal wifi adapter with an Atheros one (maybe).
If your connection goes like this: VPN -> Tor -> Internet
then your ISP can only see encrypted data and assume you use a VPN but it can
not know whether you are using Tor or not. The main advantage of connecting
to Tor behind a VPN is precisely to hide its usage to the ISP. Now, Tor is

Hi and welcome to the forum of Triskello :)
With your hardware specs you will be perfectly fine with the full, standard,
that is to say the gnome-flashback version of Trisquel.
Yep. Only main. Debian by default includes only the main repo and ever since
Debian 6 its kernel has been deblobbed (no proprietary firmware at all). To
add proprietary software the user would need to manually add non-free and
contrib repos by editing sources.list in /etc/apt. Just keep it
Try:
sudo apt install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
Also make sure gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is installed too.
I have done quite some distro hopping and Trisquel is by far the simplest,
easy to use and very user friendly distro ever.
So, when you say that Trisquel is for developers you are completely wrong.
With all the applications I need installed, my root is filled with 3.8 gb of
data. 10 gb root is more than enough in most cases. Sure, if you have enough
space on the hard drive you can make it 20, 30, 50 or whatever.
I see. 25 bucks is a very decent price for that dongle.

can't you just install the (libre, hopefully) drivers for your printer and

Nope. The installation is straightforward. Trivially easy, clear and doable

There is no slovak language support for the wiki but maybe you can try and

I use Debian. If it wasn't for Debian you wouldn't have Buguntu and you
wouldn't have Trisquel.
I don't care at all what Shuttleworth did in the past. That's not the point

Well, I guess I'd manage to do that in Xfce, which is btw the only DE I have
studied well. I used MATE quite a lot too and it's the same. I guess it is
the same for all the DEs..
In Xfce you would want to go in the folder of your icon theme -->
/usr/share/icons and look for the folder
as retro as it gets!
I use gnome-system-monitor on Xfce for it is better than the Xfce task
manager, it has more features, it looks better and it more lightweight than
the Xfce one, it takes 18 mb of RAM here.
I bet my cat pictures collection you have an ATI GPU :)
smtube works great too. Remember to disable javascript in the config file if
you go that way though.
>Also, I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that "squel" is in the name

No squealing as long as the packages from Buguntu are safe.
Freeware and free software are very very very different (read:

Anyway, there is no way to have 3d acceleration with an ATI no matter the

AFAIK the only way for you to get the correct resolution is to downgrade to

See,
Just wanted to chime in to say that killing birds is really very wrong.
On a default Trisquel installation there are very few open listening ports if
I remember correctly.
*sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN* will give you the info on which ports are
**open and listening** to the netz. You can quietly ignore those listening on
the localhost (127.0.0.1) for
long time no see, cat :)

as far as I understand, it is a good practice to put anything that is not

I've struggled with an ATI GPU for months back when I had a laptop with one
of those horrible graphics cards. All Ati cards require proprietary firmware
for video acceleration to work. As of the linux kernel
