You could also try Okular (it's specifically made for KDE, but can work in
other desktop environments).
You probably have Aseprite in mind.
I'm pretty sure it already is installed by default. However, it can only be
used if the graphics card is supported. That excludes Maxwell- and (soon)
Pascal-series NVIDIA graphics cards.
What desktop environment do you use (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, …)?

I disagree with this. There's a reason the industry is pushing for high-DPI
monitors: pixelated fonts are just ugly and harder to read than crisp,
anti-aliased fonts.
Not all packages get security updates in Debian. Sometimes, upstream makes
fixes that Debian ends up never backporting, especially for less popular
packages.
Here you can get an ISO of the latest Debian testing build in 64-bit, by the
way.
Yes, all fonts found in Trisquel are libre (typically under the SIL OFL which
is considered libre by the FSF). Trisquel has no package that installs the
proprietary Microsoft fonts as well.

Apparently, those patches make Xonotic fully playable in 3840x2160 on the
Ultimate preset, with Nouveau (the free NVIDIA driver) on some Kepler cards.
Reclocking still needs to be done manually, but it's a start.

It's intended that you can't go to a website then install some GNU/Linux
software quickly and easily. See how much malware and adware is being spread
on sites like SourceForge, and how much that software only targets Windows

Why not make modern games using modern tools though? Like, with Godot.
It uses the CPU a lot more than H.264 (when comparing x264 to x265):

The reason there are no non-LTS releases of Trisquel is the lack of manpower
(it takes 4-6 months to release Trisquel after Ubuntu already). If you are
knowledgeable about the inner workings of a Debian/Ubuntu system, you
probably can help.
Red Eclipse was in Debian non-free because the Debian people thought that not
having the source files of some 3D models made some art non-free (the most
important models do have .blend files available, like the player model and
some weapon models). They ultimately stepped back and considered
privacytools.io has a list of "good" VPN providers, starting at $36/year.
I don't think "no 3D acceleration" and "media centre" go well in the same
sentence, especially for anything that's over 720p video.
It doesn't have to be something based on the Quake engine (most iterations of
that engine have important shortcomings that are very hard to fix). Better
use something like Godot.
There are audio captchas around, but I would advise not using captchas except

ZOL is probably the abbreviation of ZFS on Linux.
There's not much interest to having more proprietary games on GNU/Linux.
Sure, it might help people migrate (which is why proprietary software ports
are overall a good thing), but it's useless to the people of the free/libre
world.
https://gnu.org/philosophy/nonfree-games.html
The problem is, it'll take years for libre games using Vulkan to appear. Very
few libre games run on something newer than OpenGL 2.1 already. Some libre
game engines will likely get Vulkan support in the next 2 years, but there
needs to be libre games using those for it to be really useful.
http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item=NVIDIA-Releases-Signed-Blobs
This means the latest NVIDIA cards will soon be usable with Nouveau on
GNU/Linux, but with proprietary signed firmware. What do you think?
This GitHub issue says that Mail-in-a-box supports Trisquel 7, although not
officially.
About copylefted game engines, I did ask the Atomic Game Engine developer
(who currently releases it under a proprietary license) to release it under
the GPL or LGPL. Many things are already free/libre in it (like the runtime),
but the editor is not. This was their answer.
They might as well support libre games too…
Probably virt-manager.
> You will be able to run every libre game with high settings and nice fps
This one probably won't even start (like most Torque3D games):
http://www.duion.com/games/uebergame/main
In this list, I would also mention Quake 1/2 mods such as Team Fortress (Q1),
Rocket Arena (Q1), Action Quake 2 (Q2), OSP (Q2)… which use proprietary
(binary-only) game logic in the form of .dat/.dll/.so files.
Most stuff published by GPUOpen appears to be relevant for DirectX rather
than OpenGL. There are a few OpenGL samples, but no "complete" code like
TressFX.
It does not. The Linux kernel supplied by Debian is deblobbed using their own
scripts (they do not use Linux-libre, but it is still fully free). However,
the installer may recommend non-free firmware in some cases.
Today, mere rendering of a desktop requires 3D (using compositing, which has
many advantages), unless you are using software rendering like LLVMpipe.
Is GitHub really the best? GitLab is of very high quality (even though it's
heavy to install and self-host), and GitLab.com offers gratis private
repositories unlike GitHub. I would say it is technically better than GitHub
in many cases, not to mention the Community Edition is libre.
Resource management in software doesn't work like that. This is not a
strategy game; if people are interested to work on a specific but less useful
project, they will. They won't be productive if you force them to work on
what you believe is important.
> I wonder why it is taking so long...
There are basically 2-4 developers on it, to my knowledge. Compare this to
Mozilla's manpower available on Firefox…
It sounds like you have an AMD graphics adapter. Your best bet is downgrading
to Linux-libre 3.4, but you still won't have any 3D acceleration.
Install ruby2.0 and ruby2.0-dev.
Drupal 8 has been released on 2015-11-19.
Time to upgrade the site? :)
During installation, you can choose if updates are downloaded if you have an

boot the installed system for the first time, it will prompt you to install
the updates directly, which will require a reboot since the

Like it or not, I am reminded of
There should be incentive to develop fully free games; look at how many
"free" games are plagued by non-free artwork or worse, non-free software as
"game scripts" (like Warsow)...
Use Handbrake.
> AND modern libre games are not made thinking about low spec machines.
To me, OpenArena seems to care a bit too much about the legacy…
renderer_oa changes
- Widescreen horizontal expansion support
- Paletted texturing support, for the few older cards that support the
paletted texture
The only fully libre solution for increasing screen resolution with
VirtualBox is to edit GRUB, so that the boot resolution is increased. You
will probably have to stick with a 4:3 resolution though.
Nouveau doesn't. At least Kepler and older generations.
You don't need more than 60 FPS, unless you want very low input latency (at
the cost of wasting power). Also, vblank_mode=0 /path/to/game/binary should
disable V-Sync.
Modern Intel CPUs all have backdoors too.
These are known Kepler cards:
GT 640
GTX 650/660/660 Ti/670/680
GTX 760/770/780/780 Ti
These cards are have experimental reclocking support in recent kernels.
Some screens are high-DPI, thus the icon might show up at 32×32, 48×48,
64×64 or even 96×96, but still take the same screen real estate.
"Considered harmful"
"AMVIDIA" combinations don't go well in my combination, you will probably
profit more from an Intel + NVIDIA system. It's not like AMD processors are
much of a competition to Intel these days, anyway...
Intel, definitely, until Nouveau gets reliable reclocking that can fully
exploit the graphics card. (It is starting to happen on Kepler series video
cards [most GeForce 600 and some GeForce 700s]).
No, but it is planned since years ago.
Is there any real reason for licensors to use NC though?
Xonotic has software rendering using vid_soft 1, but it is very slow.
Such artifacts are known bugs on older Intel graphics adapters, there's not
much to do, but you can try updating the kernel.
> P.S: The mouse has a DPI button. How do i get it to work in trisquel?
Those buttons are almost always hardware-based, which means they work
regardless of the operating system.
The dual-core CPU does not have HyperThreading or Turbo Mode.

You may struggle with 3D programs like
UEFI is a standard. In theory, you can implement a fully free UEFI. In
practice, I don't know of anyone running a free UEFI on their system (due to
hardware support probably).
Installing in UEFI mode will bring you a few benefits:
Potentially faster boot times
Dual-booting might be easier
Not relying on a legacy stack that might go away some day
It's not that hard to install in UEFI mode on modern distributions, even
Trisquel supports it, if I recall
Any PC sold since 2012 uses and supports UEFI, but you can still boot in BIOS
mode (that is, you can install your OS either in UEFI mode, which is the
recommended way to do it, or in legacy BIOS mode).
It uses non-free JavaScript for sure.
> So strictly speaking, this software violates GNU GPLv3 from the very core
No, it does not. A GPLv3 software that recommends non-free software does not
violate the license.
Many developers would rather not spend any money, this is why centralized
hosting platforms are used. Also, with centralized platforms, you don't need
to create an account for each project to report bugs or make pull requests,
and the interface is the same.
What do you mean? Only AMD makes graphic adapters. However, they can either
be integrated (AMD APU) or dedicated (AMD GPU). However, both are called
Radeon.

No, it won't, if you check "Replace current operating system with Trisquel",

> the launch of Steam on GNU/Linux has triggered a massive boost of interest
in libre gaming.
I think 2007-2008 was the years of libre gaming (for reasons I don't know),
not 2012 (year of Steam being launched for GNU/Linux). Those years, there
were large amounts of players on libre games.
For making games, you can use those free software:

I'm not aware of any responsive themes for PunBB.
The only fully supported graphics hardware is from Intel, and it's
integrated, so it's much slower than a dedicated graphics card that would be
fully supported (Nouveau still can't reclock any Fermi or Kepler graphics
cards).
Even the best Broadwell Intel IGP, without the proprietary
Skylake graphics need a proprietary blob to be fully usable.

Okay, I apologize.
Back on topic: Intel graphics will be slower on Trisquel than on other
(non-fully-libre) distributions because we don't ship microcode updates.
Expect a 30% performance loss.
To be more accurate, I think the distributions (Debian, Fedora) ship it in
the form of packages.
