Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Needs A Name
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 "take over" won't help (since that means anyone searching for Flidas now is probably looking for Trisquel anyway and would just type "Trisquel Flidas" without being in the slightest deterred", whereas going for a name that's "taken over" on e.g. Google (i.e. has a lot of people searching for it already) would instead expose Trisquel to people who otherwise would've had no chance of encountering it? tl;dr: wouldn't actively going for a name not taken over by anything be a bit of a preaching to the choir thing not exposing more people to Trisquel?
Re: [Trisquel-users] BLAG 200000 Alpha Kickstart Files

Re: [Trisquel-users] About systemd
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 running pacman -Syu 3) I wanted to remove the non-free kernel from Manajro...wait, I can't. So make the linux-libre package provide it? No, I'm not building anything without yaourt's help :) So...yeah. It seemed better to just go Parabola instead at that point. Or Trisquel. "DIY free-as-I-can-make-it Ubuntu 16.04" When 14.04 was out for months already but trisquel 7 was still beta or something I debootstrapped a Trisquel 7 installation into existance and it acted like a normal, stable Ubuntu release. Maybe it's the case here (or maybe you're already running Trisquel 8 and I just missed the post saying so)?
Re: [Trisquel-users] appImage support in Trisquel 8?
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 NTFS, this is a really long shot but maybe, *just maybe* (won't be surprised to be wrong though), Ubuntu does something to the efffect of https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173052=12781920#post12781920 ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] [HOW TO] Install the latest Linux-Libre kernel in Trisquel
The (I assume not outdated) page says x86 or AMD64 so...I don't think it's going to run on ARM.
Re: [Trisquel-users] About systemd
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) And I'm on Slackware because of totally non-Systemd-related reasons - otherwise I'd stay with Triquel 7 anyway (and if that reaches EOL and I *really* hated systemd that much but really wanted to stay I can always just link APT to the old archive part of the repo anyway like I could do now with something like Brigantia if I were desperate to stay full-GTK+2 (I'm not) :p). Basically as far as we know someone might do a FreeCentOS and I might move there not caring about Systemd. And anyway if Slackware ever F's up I might return to dailying Trisquel anyway systemd or no systemd since the reason I stopped dailying Trisquel to begin with was neither because it couldn't work (it still can), nor Systemd :) just a tad strange that your post seems needlessly defensive and to assume that I'm some "systemd refugee". May be confirmaton bias on my part to be fair, though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] About systemd
"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 Trisquel, I will, and Systemd won't (at least for *objective* reasons) stop me. Oh that, and Parabola can also be run without Systemd AFAIK (Arch can, which in turn is why Manjaro can as well).
Re: [Trisquel-users] About systemd
"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 otherwise not the better way to go anyway, so I'm not arguing there at all. But OTOH simply saying that people will flock to the "better" thing thereby correctly determining whether a philosophical issue is there (something you totally didn't, but IrishUSA IMO did) would put into question why Trisquel, etc bother existing.
Re: [Trisquel-users] About systemd
"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" Which is what everyone does to nonfree software in our OS. They don't flee, they embrace it. It seems to not only work perfectly well, but outperform free software in many things. I'm not a staunch anti-systemd guy at all (despite my being on Slackware), but I don't see how that's a very good argument personally.

Re: [Trisquel-users] What do you think about the Non-Distros?
I started using GNU/Linux with a "Basically Ubuntu" distro (and personally I guess I still have a bit of a soft spot for it). It uses Ubuntu's repos. TBH I actually think of Mint and Trisquel as "Basically Ubuntu" as well (even though both do have their own repos which don't copy Ubuntu's quite so verbatim). I don't really mind since I think I take "based on Ubuntu" to basically mean Ubuntu + and minus a few packages anyway, so it was always clear enough to me they weren't really like RHEL/CentOS, Mandriva, Slackware, etc are/were

Re: [Trisquel-users] Why is lxqt not available in the trisquel repositories?
Trisquel repository, just like the Ubuntu releases it's based on, don't really update their repos after a release apart from bugfixes. The current, and soon-to-be-replaced version of Trisquel is based on Ubuntu 14.04. Lxqt wasn't back then what it is today (is Razor-Qt in the repos? I don't recall it being particularly good back in 2014, though. LxQT is a merge between the developers of LXDE and Razor-Qt).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Will Trisquel 8 embrace Snap packaging for custom, Trisquel specific, applications?
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 use it on non-LTS releases of Ubuntu.

As long as they're not uniform shaped I think things will be fine. The thing I actually try to avoid is a uniform icon theme, since an app not covered by the theme would stand out like a sore thumb. (examples of that include how quite a few MATE apps look like under non-MATE Faenza and how many app icons look odd when one uses the otherwise pretty-close-to-GOAT Sphere icon theme).
Re: [Trisquel-users] I need help to install trisquel in Calgary, Alberta area...
Even though the UI is different (different "Start Menu" thingie, application appearance, preinstalled applications etc) Trisquel is actually quite similar to Ubuntu. The current verson is based on Ubuntu 14.04 so you might want to look at videos/articles about that (there are differences, mostly concerning not-so-free software Ubuntu makes use of and the interface, but the "internals", if you will (i.e. how a user account works, how file deletion works, programme installation and removal, and to an extent desktop themes, etc) are very similar. If you have a relative that uses GNU+Linux (Red GHat, debian, Ubuntu, etc), then they might also be able to help quite a bit.

But again, based on my experience with the *14-year-old* TC1000, my idea was that the ability to hide window content when moving/resizing it seems to me to be the most important factor to speed - which is more important than how much of the system resources is taken.
