I haven't used Trisquel in a little bit and when I saw this story, I wanted
to see what y'all were up to.

Since Trisquel is based on Ubuntu, you can also install the Snap:

How about you spend less time attacking people personally and more getting a
free software OS out the door?
Trisquel 8 isn't fully out and its based on the soon to be 2 year old Ubuntu
16.04 LTS. At this point, it may be wise for the Trisquel team to start fresh
with concentrating on the newer Ubuntu 18.04 code when it releases in April
2018.
I hate to have seen this project die out and these

With Ubuntu 18.04 LTS coming out in April, should focus go towards "Trisquel
9" instead? I know there are a lot of users on Trisquel 7 and upgrading will
be hard, but maybe its good to have a fresh start? Gnome and KDE are mature
of course. MATE, XFCE, and even Budgie will be good to go as

It would be nice to have a stable and polished ISO instead of having to rely
on "daily" ISO builds or netinstall to install this OS in its alpha state.
Btw, if you want to know how much time has passed, Ubuntu 17.10 will be
released tomorrow, October 19th.
There is nothing wrong with an LTS release like Ubuntu 16.04 as there are
point release ISOs that bring in newer kernel and xservee installed by
default.
Oh and there's Snap packages.
Hey Magic,
If you look at the dates of some of the posts, I do have a reason to be
worried. That first link was dated "Sun, 10/02/2016 - 13:10"
How am I wrong to STILL be worried after this is still in Alpha?
I was looking at the Purism laptops today and they come with PureOS as the
operating system. It would have been nice to have Trisquel as an option, but
version 8 is STILL nowhere to be found.
Anyone remember when Ruben would release Trisquel at a decent rate? The most
recent version (7) is
"Trisquel 8 is still alpha"
When this OS is based off of code from April 2016 and is still an early work
in progress in August 2017, it is an abandoned project at this point.
Its too bad this isn't a Snap either as Ubuntu 14.04/Trisquel 7 supports it
via snapd.
Stable = old
I did make a post about using Snaps to keep some packages up to date:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-7-should-utilize-snap-packages-and-libre-host-them
There are various ways Trisquel could run its own Snap store like this:
https://github.com/noise/snapstore
Current version of Trisquel is 7, based off of Ubuntu 14.04 from April 2014.
Trisquel 8 is still in alpha stages and is based off of software already a
year old. Where is Trisquel 8 in final form? It is a big black eye in the
perception of free software.
Can we just release the fucking
Even through the unreleased Trisquel 8 has the tool to create Snap packages
via Snapcraft, Trisquel 7 and 8 have the snapd package to run Snaps.
Since there isn't going to be a community repository and PPAs can be sketchy,
why not have Trisquel run its own Snap portal and modify the Snap

GZDoom 3.0.0 has been released.
This is the first version that merges all software rendering features from
QZDoom.
In addition this is the first release under the GPL v3.
To comply with the GPL,
Hopefully this encourages Ruben to finally release Trisquel 8 as its not
getting any love these days. Teetering on being a dead and abandoned project.
At this point, Trisquel needs to be forked or shut down if Ruben cannot
commit to the project or assign someone else to take over. Kinda pathetic at
this point that Trisquel 8 has taken this long and a lot of respect for this
project has been lost.

Dunno if Ars is joking or not...
Even though there are non-free elements of the OS, Solus has been a pretty
good example of doing a lot with a small team. I just wish Trisquel had the
manpower and commitment of the Solus team.
Almost March 2017 when Ubuntu 16.04 came out in April 2016. Pick up the
fucking pace guys.
No, because MATE in 16.04 (Trisquel 8) is GTK2 and Brisk Menu is GTK3 only.
May have to wait until Trisquel 9.
With the way the distro scene is going, I'm suprised no one has tried to make
a libre version of SolusOS.
You can always fork the repo at https://github.com/pypa/pip and then once you
make your updates, do a merge request. Were you thinking of adding a -free
command line option to pip to force free packages only?
I've brought up Snap packages, but no one has given an answer whether they
are good or bad since they come from Canonical's servers. The Trisquel team
could modify the source of the Snap installer to use approved packages on
their own servers, but that's asking too much. Especially when
"Sadly a few users seem to have forgotten this, and have decided to stop
using Trisquel because they seem to care more about how new and shiny the
software is, more than the ethics on the software."
Besides the optional non-free repository, stock Debian is free software and
both the
I heard unar-free cannot do v3 of RAR files, but unar can. Maybe newer

We all know its a fork, so there is no need to have Caja and Nautilus
installed when only Caja is needed for desktop rendering and file management.
It is the default file manager for MATE and the Ubuntu MATE distro after all.

I'm kinda confused. It says the Ubuntu "license check" but Chromium has been
in Ubuntu for a long time now. Plus, many of these posts are from 2009 and it
is almost 2017. Its a shame that there are still issues (or they say there
are) and there are less alternatives for Trisquel.
Hopefully:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/will-trisquel-8-use-hwe-1604-and-hwe-1604-edge-kernels
Is Chromium in a better place from a libre perspective than it was years ago?
Nautilus is trash. MATE uses Caja by default and Trisquel 8 should stick to
that.
Upstream Ubuntu ditched Brasero as no one really burns CDs, is not that
active,and is clutter on the ISO
What is Trisquel's policy on Snap packages? Are they allowed? I say cuz the
latest VLC is available as one and I'm not sure if there are theming issues.
Its one way to have the latest without a PPA.
Yeah, hopefully Ruben and the other team members consider this when this is
rolled out. Its still great that you offer the Libre kernel. :-)
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/RollingLTSEnablementStack
In January of 2017, Ubuntu 16.04.2 will adapt a new way to deliver the latest

MATE was the best choice at this point. With Trisquel 9, the team should also
take a look at Budgie as the Budgie version will be official with 17.04
onwards.
People bashed me in the past for this, but the lack of communication from
Ruben and the lack of any progress has many worried about this distro. People
shouldn't have to hound him on IRC to get an update. He needs to follow
through. Posts like these just reinforce the faith that is being
I know that LibreOffice will substitute "Times New Roman" for Liberation
Serif or Tinos (http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/fonts-croscore). No
clue about Abiword.
To be honest, it would be nice to have a statement from Ruben to clarify what
is going on and to get his take on the whole thing. What did he do? Did he
harass this employee or not? This is going to keep happening until Ruben
brings some closure to the matter. He thinks that staying quiet is
That's a given with the harassment claims against Ruben and Trisquel being
his side project.
Why would you downgrade a GTX 970 for a much weaker GeForce 8400GS? You are
sacrificing performance just for the sake of being libre. When you buy a card
like the 970, your intentions are to play games and those games run better
with the non-free drivers.
The reality of this project is that people are always waiting and there is no
clear communication or roadmap. They are always waiting because some use this
OS as the backbone of their everyday use at home and/or at work. It is very
important to them.
Some want the latest and greatest and
I'm just so burned out. Waiting and waiting and nothing happens. No news.
Nothing.
This also means that Trisquel 8 has been cancelled. Probably have to stick
with those Trisquel 7 ISOs from 2014 if you still want to stick around with
this project.
Trisquel really loses its appeal when you can do about the same with Debian
(don't enable non-free) or go with Parabola if
da fuq?
Don't forget about Go and Python!
Ubuntu 16.10 comes out this month, meaning 16.04 will be out for 6 months.
Since Trisquel 8 is based on 16.04, it's really shitty that we have had to
wait 6 months. What is the damn holdup?
Since Ruben has been silent, how did he "side" with this person against Leah?
Did he calmly discuss it or did he laugh at Leah or name call?
Ruben needs to make a public statement about this. Why does he keep getting
mentioned? Is he guilty? Is he innocent? His silence is actually frighting
when considering that he has put Trisquel 8 on hold and isn't doing the
Freedom Fridays anymore.
https://libreboot.org/gnu-insult/
Things have really started to heat up since GNU won't give Libreboot to Leah.
Ruben is still being mentioned in the discrimination claims.
Ruben has more on his plate now with a potential work discrimination
investigation and may not have the time for this pet project. He may have the
time to maintain Trisquel 7, but I'm getting the feeling Trisquel 8 is on
hold for the time being.
Are you insinuating that she has a mental illness due to her transgender
status?
If Rubén is breaking any workplaces discriminatory laws, he should be gone
and all funding should be pulled from Trisquel. In return, to send a message,
the Trisquel project should be shut down as well.
This could be a good thing as it will encourage another free software
alternative to
Its interesting that Rubén is mentioned in this post. I'm guessing since
Rubén has a Hispanic background, there may be some religious upbringing on
his behalf that may have fueled some discriminatory comments towards Leah.
If Rubén gets axed, does that mean that Trisquel gets dissolved as

corporate America when a black employee is fired. I forgot what its called,

"I'm declaring here and now to the whole world that Libreboot is no longer

deserve to exist."
Ouch.
Trisquel 8 is using MATE? Thank you.
Microsoft released this to benefit Azure and not you.
Support for Ubuntu LTS is five years, while Debian is only two. That should
be reason enough to use Ubuntu based distros for desktop and server.
Oh and I do have a ThinkPenguin USB for wireless so that could be a solution.
Yeah, I've heard about the C201 and since it is ARM, it may not be good for
Trisquel but Debian should work:
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/C201
Its too bad the wireless is non-free.
I was thinking of getting one to install Trisquel (hopefully 8 if its
released soon) on before an upcoming trip and wondering if there were any
recommendations or a list somewhere. I know the Acer C720 was pretty good,
but it is a few years old now and I assume there are better Chromebooks
How is this trolling? English may not be your primary language and it shows.
It's called a sense of humor. Heard of it?
Ruben doesn't reply to direct replies on forums unfortunately. He's too busy

Since it is based off of Arch, the ISO releases are not as frequent as it is

So basically the FSF would rather spend its resources in being political than

the deployment and continued growth of free software that you can run freely

I can get by in the Tor browser in Ubuntu 16.04 (which doesn't use the Cisco

that used the H.264 video codec.
I have to agree with the original poster. This distribution peaked around
2010/2011 and hasn't been the same since. It looks worse than before (which
can be fixed with MATE if they still want a classic look) and communication
between Ruben and the community is at an all time low. He works
Why not spend those resources in helping out the Trisquel team instead of
forking something? It's a daunting task for a one man team and the odds are
against you. You probably will give up, lose interest, or it takes longer
than expected and gets released way past your deadlines. If released

People have asked for updated Trisquel 7 ISOs to be more in line with the
Ubuntu 14.04.x ones that fix issues and such. It never happened. People want
a timely Trisquel 8 release since T7 is showing its age and since we never
get an updated T7 ISO, users who do a fresh install are held back
Is the Trisquel team willing to run their own Snap repository and change the
source code in snapd and snapcraft to link to it? If not, still pulling in
the Snap management packages could open up the door to non-free software and
letting Canonical dictate everything.
I look forward to a new release because I can take something with an
established look like ElementaryOS and run the Ubuntu Trisquel conversion
script. Heck, isn't that also the best way to get Unity running in Trisquel?
