It should be a "searchable" name (that is, a name that doesn't have many
results on search engines, so we can "take it over." For example: Searching
for Flidas has Trisquel in the top results.Just a (not-too-thoroughly though
out, I have to say) thought but surely searching for a name we can
Personal opinion here but I'd totally rather see something RHEL-based than
fedora-based (I mean, which is the testbed for which and which one's release
gets supported for longer?)
not really an answer to your question but Parabola is sort of Arch-libre
anyway (not that I think you don't know that)
"plus official backports (main branch only) which will provide a newer
kernel."
I thnk jxself already handles that anyway (though the kernels don't come from
Debian AFAIK)
I don't see how the condition of a distro's forum means a distro is dead.
I mean, you sound like one of those "is slackware dead" posts (it's not, they
just update their news very, very, very, very seldom - that plus they don't
even run a forum

really bad.

through slapt - it's pretty easy like that)
I don't at the moment.so there's that
Isn't that how a lot of people look at the free software community though, to
be fair?
IIRC here's my attempt at a DIY-fully-free Manjaro. Would've been a few years
back though so might not be 100% accurate:
1) Manjaro
2) I wanted linux-libre. I guess I could from time to time activate
Parabola's repos to take the kernel from there, then disable the repos again
before
I think the idea of Appimage is that it sort of should work regardless of
whether @quidam cares about it. And since Trisquel is sort of Ubuntu-libre,
expect it to eeither work in the live session or at the very least for the
packages to enable it to be available in the repos anyway
As for
The (I assume not outdated) page says x86 or AMD64 so...I don't think it's
going to run on ARM.
Yeah I just thought that of the few, some of which somewhat obscure distros
you remember has non-Systemd inits it would be strange that one of the even
fewer fully-free ones that does do that would be forgotten (now that I've
come to think of it I don't recall Dragora using systemd either)
"Removing systemd is beyond the scope of the Trisquel project" Not what I'm
asking at all though. I am on Slackware, and I guess I do enjoy the lack of
Systemd, but the reason for me being here is unrelated to Systemd :)
If things happen that make me want to move to e.g. post-Upstart
"Likewise, I can't think of anything people complain about in systemd that
there is any legitimate ethical basis to be upset about." Me neither, in many
ways, I can understand that a lot of people don't like systemd but yeah, it's
free, and I'm not quite of the knowledge to decide it's
"there should be practical consequences for that supposed philosophical
wrongdoing. So where are the horror stories? Why aren't distros fleeing from
it? In fact it not only seems to work perfectly well, but outperform legacy
software such as with boot times, and distros are flocking to it"
I seem to recall being able to install it without migrating (would've been
years back though)

This is a tad irrelevant now but the reason flatpak couldn't be installed is
because in that PPA it's not available for Ubuntu trusty (upon which Trisquel

I started using GNU/Linux with a "Basically Ubuntu" distro (and personally I

Hi Leah, a tad off-topic (and I guess demanding) here but what are the
chances of Ivy Bridge laptops with libreboot (especially the X230, anyway)
working after the X220? Or can a Librebooted T420 simply be upgraded to an
Ivy Bridge CPU and retain libreboot?
How does the Iris 6200 work?
Based on what seems to be the case, here's how I see it:

Distro releases, technology, and innovation honestly don't have much to do
with each other anyway so.. (besides, the innovation would've arrived in
Arch before it does to any fixed-release distro that tries to 'innovate').

Trisquel repository, just like the Ubuntu releases it's based on, don't

Trisquel seems to be exclusively a distro-making-and-maintaining, but not
programme-writing, organisation as it stands now so I don't see how that
would change simply because Snap is introduced.
That said if Trisquel makes its own app I think it should be easier, if the
app is in Snap, to

That wouldn't be fair to Linux Torvlads.

Could've been a tad more selective though - maybe by marking manual

gtk2 and gtk3 wouldn't be a problem, we can leave those DEs at GTK2 and leave
only the gtk3 apps to use gtk3.
Hell, that's how everything apart from GNOME and Cinnamon (and Budgie, MGSE,

None. Just have something added more upstream instead, www.launchpad.net
wouldn't be the worst place to start (then maybe mirror packages in (insert
name) PPA to another server, perhaps some sort of non-Ubuntu part of
Trisquel's repo).
Or of course Debian.

We don't call repos PPAs unless they're those things on launchpad.net called

As long as they're not uniform shaped I think things will be fine.

Even though the UI is different (different "Start Menu" thingie, application

Its packages are new enough to work as well with AUR packages as Manjaro does

Anyway..I'll probably try it.
With what battery?
Try arandr or Lxrandr instead (I assume you're using E17 - of which the
monitor manager I never managed to make work well with me during my time
using it).
I don't think LXDE's more limited than E17 though.not nearly as much as
it's uglier, anyway.
How well does that 770 work with Nouveau?
I tried Elementary's PPA months ago but it asks for dependencies that are
