Hello and welcome! The hardware question is always tricky, especially so if
you use a fully free distro. I guess the by far easiest option would be to
get a laptop from Thinkpenguin, they have a banner ad on this page on the
right side column. Click that banner and Trisquel will get a part
Just hope that /dev/sdb isn't their hard disk!
Which torrent was that? (There's 5*2 options.)
That translation issue is known.
Perhaps try deleting the Trisquel related cookies and then try again.
Abrowser 34 is available on Trisquel 6. Some of the repositories are lagging
behind and don't have the latest packages. You might want to switch to main
(Spanish) repos.
The translation issue is normal and known. I

Are they proprietary?
All things included in Trisquel are supposed to be free. If you find evidence
to the contrary, file a bug and any non-free content will be removed.
When running on the LiveCD it looks as though I'll be allowed to try to
reformat sda6 (to fat32, I hope) because it's unmounted right now.
Yes.
If gparted can do that without destroying whatever data that 300MB
represents on the unmounted sda6, then I'd shrink the reformatted sda6

Thank you for sharing this here with us mere mortals as well! :)
I hope you can strike the correct balance between paranoia and naïveté

When dealing with ethics there are always difficult decisions to be made. And
not making a decision is also making a decision (to not decide).

Hi there! :)
Trisquel uses sudo, so it's your password all the time. There root password
is locked by default as you can see in /etc/shadow.
The GRUB password mentioned in /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD works in ... GRUB!
Perhaps you should ask specific help with what you're actually trying to do.
I've read the GFSD [1] and I don't think there is a problem.

GFSD mentions malware but I don't think this qualifies.

During the recent grub updates on Trisquel 6 the installer asked if I wanted
to change some config file as my differed from what was in the package and I
asked to see the diff, however that was never shown. The next time I rebooted
I was shown the grub menu unlike before.
I'm afraid that doesn't mean anything to me. Perhaps somebody with more
insight will come along and see this.
I believe threads get automatically locked when they get old enough. Not sure
if this is a useful feature.
Nope.

Yes, when you install Debian you install only FLOSS. Just like Trisquel.
Then you can install non free software if you want to. Just like Trisquel.
So, I don't understand why so much hate towards Debian (without which,
Trisquel wouldn't exist).
Here we go once again.
Or perhaps people falsely believe they have hardware acceleration if they

It's not a new certificate but old cipher suite. If somebody should update,
