I'm writing this on Trisquel 8 right now - it's completely useable (although
perhaps not quite stable enough yet to be formally released).
Trisquel is still a nice distro, even if you use Trisquel 7. You can update
to the latest linux-libre from third party repos e.g. freesh, or build your
own modern kernels. You can also use Ubuntu PPAs for certain things
(free/libre packages, backported to Ubuntu 14.04, which is what Trisquel

It's nice that your parents are using GNU+Linux. My mom doesn't like
using GNU+Linux, because she only uses PCs for doing stuff that her
tablet and phone can't, which is usually accessing some company's

for me is Parabola. Trisquel 7 is kind of old for me but I put it on laptops

No, you don't need to insist they use anything in particular. Just not Skype,
or anything else that requires use of proprietary software. Like, as I
mentioned, the phone network. Video chat is not a necessity for
communication. Heck, neither is voice. There are too many possibilities to

I'd think that should be handled on a case-by-case basis. But the only
scenarios I can think of that would excuse Skype usage involve someone dying.
In any other circumstance, you can establish some other form of

Midori is much more stable than it used to be, its good option for an older

That isn't completely accurate. Due to the fact that jxself.org's version of
linux-libre updates a lot more often.
I trust it over debian/devuan's because it updates way more frequently.
Other than that, I would agree mostly.
But I do not need blobs so I just do it this way anyways.
