I just did an installation of parabola yesterday. The install.sh didn't work,
but otherwise it was fine. But now I am back to Trisquel again.

I suppose it's part exaggeration to make a point, but on the same token, you
are trusting somebody else and there's no real way to see if they hold your
values to heart like the
I tried parabola and it wouldn't even install.
You do have the option of adding the repos for Trisquel 9.0 to your
source.list for a "testing experience". If you'd like to help with
backporting newer versions of packages into Trisquel repos, Chaosmonk gave
some detailed instructions here:

I agree that a Discord community is not a "server". But it sounds like you
don't count a VPS as "your server" either? What about a box they own, sitting
in leased space in a datacentre? Or a colo?

Since making that initial announcement and migrating gNewSense's old
code to a Gitlab instance, there appears to have been no activity.[1]

Old gNewSense has been discontinued for a few years, and new gNewSense hasn't
come yet. The new project leader seems ambitious. Let's look forward to its
first release.
Hopefully, the "developer" edition would be based on testing or sid. If
gNewSense could maintain certain important
Yeah if Eric Swartz can do that in 1995 with 4MB of RAM, trisquel could do
this no problem. Hell, the best animation was all done analog and the best
animators today have a very analog mindset even though they're using digital
tools.

Wow, that's really impressive! Thanks for sharing this.

That made me think if there was a cartoon short about a Trisquel User
watching Twitch in mpv and as soon as they turn on Javascript, their PC
bursts into flames. Oh that would be funny.

and maybe with musl too. Alpine Linux uses musl and it's pretty fast. eglibc
hasn't been updated in 5 years, so since then debian moved to glibc. So I
think it would be cool if Trisquel used musl, it would use less RAM and it
would remove temptations to install non-free software like

Oh, yes, I can't stand the modern web. Funny enough you can run some modern
websites without Javascript like old.reddit.com or m.facebook.com.

You talk about something like gNewSense.

Trisquel is great except that the packages are outdated. If there were a
Debian-testing-based, semi-rolling edition, that would be perfect.
Hi commodore256, thanks for sharing your experiences, and particularly the
fine detail on the hardware. You obviously go to much greater lengths on this
score than I do. I just do the absolute minimum with the hardware that allows
the OS to boot without crashing and hope for the best ;)
First, I want to say my hardware specs aren't optimal, I just really wanted
to get going and my tube of thermal paste is spent after putting the cooler
on to test it. My CPU us a Pentium 2.7ghz with 2MB of L2 Cache and can only
support SSE3 and I only have 2GB of RAM installed. That is
