It's rock solid. In retrospect, I wish I'd waited a bit longer to upgrade from Toutatis, but Belenos is mature and hassle-free for us now, which is exactly what me and Heather Jr. need for this stage of life. T3g, I think Parabola would probably be more up your alley for this stage of your

It would be nice if Ruben gave us an update on the front page. The last blog post is from May of 2016 which is over a year ago. Might scare newcomers away if they see that!

Bear in mind that even though the LTS version T8 is based on is a year old it will also be supported until 2021. That's a good long while down the road so when it's finally done it will be a long time before absolutely needing replacement. I believe Trisquel is a mixed-use distribution

Actually, the Debian installer prompts you for a firmware package to use. You can download this package and supply it to the installer.

I don't think Ruben is moved by your complaining. He probably never reads this thread. While I'd welcome Flidas and admit it's a little bit overdue, there really is nothing we can do about it unless we contribute.

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

trisquel is not a mainstream distro, you can't expect to have hundreds of programmers fixing everything. It takes a lot of time. Belenos is a awesome distro, and I am hoping Flida will be as good, maturation is a important role in the production of anything that is good. Or maybe I'm just

At this point, I'm just enjoying Belenos. Devuan wasn't as difficult as I thought when I needed modern Ruby for a quick task and I'm sure my 9 year old and I would be just fine on it if we absolutely had to have new shiny. I've virtualized Flidas and am looking forward to trying it on a

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
