Use jxself's linux-libre-lts package. And you can have another way to boot the system if need be. Just a thought.

Yes, this! "if you need more up to date software libraries and packages in the meantime you can try the stable Hyperbola distribution (based on Arch with Debian patches but not a rolling release)" t3g should try this idea. Although, encryption is a little trickier, but meh, better than

Yes Jxself, I bet he couldn't fork Trisquel anymore than I could. That's kind of what the first post I made was trying to say, albeit very sarcasticly. I usually don't see you get this steamed ever... He must have really crossed the line huh... Welp, somehow I am not surprised that t3g

Magicbanana, sorry, but I hate to say, I find this entertaining... although utterly stupid and pointless. And yes, unproductive in many different ways.

What exactly are you agreeing on? Everybody with half a brain "agrees" that T8 is late. That goes without saying. It doesn't follow that the OP is right about much anything. He's been complaining about it, we know about it and there's nothing more to do about it. I use T8 on my HP

loldier, I agree with t3g that it might be better to prioritize the release of Trisquel 9 over releasing both Trisquel 8 and Trisquel 9, since Trisquel 8 is based on an almost 2 year old system. Since Ubuntu LTS releases are supported for 5 years, Trisquel does not need to offer all the

I'm hijacking this comment to ask you a Question CalmStorm. May I ask you why you recommend Hyperbola? :) Especially why you recommend it over Parabola? :) I think I'm going to try a more simplistic GNU OS now, and you have been talking so warmly about this OS. But why not Parabola? It is

The first comment that was made to you is accurate, but I will add also, IF you desire encryption in hyperbola, it will be a bit harder. Unless your doing FDE! in which case, following the instructions is easy enough. My reasons for Hyperbola and not Parabola aren't just systemd though,

I agree with t3g that Trisquel should be based on an up to date version of Ubuntu, so that it will be compatible with new software and libraries (without requiring messing around with unofficial repositories). t3g, if you need more up to date software libraries and packages in the meantime

How ironic! The five threads you created to complain that quidam is not working fast enough certainly helped a lot to "get a free software OS out the door".

"WebKit has security problems" Have those problems been fixed in the Blink engine that was forked from parts of WebKit, and is now used by Chromium and its derivatives (Chrome and I presume Iridium)? Otherwise it might be better to stick with a Firefox-based browser, or another free code

The problem is only with the way WebKit is distributed, so Blink doesn't have the same problem. That's one major reason why there has been a push to switch to it for Qt, the way I understand it.
