How do you do that?
I installed Trisquel 8 on my laptop. The two Blocking issues that I reported
are no longer a problem. I easily hooked up to hidden wifi without dhcp. And
I burned a dvd. Wasn't able to do either last year. Jxself's 4.15.12

Indeed, I'm sorry. I guess I missed the fact that I *personally* use/see
"F" as standing for "FSF". :D
"GNU FSDG" stands for "GNU Free Software Distribution Guidelines". The
acronym has changed multiple times, but the "F" has never stood for "FSF".

I would like to see them case by case basis, save "steering" users to
non-free solutions, or subtle incompatibilities between DFSG and certain
licenses (IIRC some man pages and other documentation

I would agree to that. Unless one goes out of one's way and *add* (opposed to
"enable") non-free repositories, Debian is

I've installed Trisquel 8 as a double boot with Trisquel 7.
There are some good things.
But I'd like to tell to developers that the famous Handbreak is missing from
the Trisquel 8 packages !
If it helps ?...
I recommand Parabola LXDE ISO who have an LXDE interface.
If you're not easy in the use of the terminal, I don't recommand to install
Arch Linux forks.
There are also some four different versions to choose from:
https://wiki.parabola.nu/Get_Parabola#Installing_or_trying_Parabola_from_a_LiveCD.2FDVD_or_USB_memory_stick
Which one is the "most official" and the most supported by the developers?
Is it possible to run Parabola live from a DVD? (I may have asked this
before)
I think it is just better to switch to another distro if Trisquel 8 taking a
long time is a problem for ya rather than complaining excessively.
I believe most people know what I have chosen. It's in my avatar after all.
This is very, very simple. Choose a distro you like and if your

The request_firmware calls cause problems. Linux-libre fixes that.

Bingo!

In my experience Icecat is barely faster than Tor Browser. I don't know that
everyone would accept it as a substitute for Firefox or Abrowser, at least not
until ESR moves to FF60 in May. I'm looking forward to Tor Browser becoming

Also swap out kernels, replace Firefox, modify the installer to get rid of
those various verboten prompts, rebrand everything, and more. gNewSense is
based on Debian and they have similar things to Trisquel's "Helpers", caller
Builders. (I think that might be where the idea of Trisquel's

idea, again, but I imagine it would not take much
Many proprietary packages can be simply removed. Others may be need to be
modified or replaced. For example, any proprietary firmware removed should be
replaced with with free firmware when available so that as many devices as
possible are supported. Another example is SMPLayer, which in Ubuntu
Thanks mason that explains some issues but is there a more technical
explanation as to why it isn't so simple as to just remove proprietary bits.
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/flidas-release-issues
Well, I guess that makes it sound a bit too simple.
However I'm also interested to know what's the major "blocking bug" that is
keeping trisquel 8 from being released.
Anybody got some info on this?
Oh I am happy to wait I just wanted to know what the development process was
because I thought all they had to do was remove proprietary bits and be done
with it
William5565
Patient and give them sometime, it is on and continuous development. have
faith on them to iron out the bugs.
