How do I get the best, most complete GNOME experience on Trisquel?
This drives me crazy. As you can see from the screenshot attached above,
Micah's PPA is added, registered and recognised by trisquel. It is also shown
by
~$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
micahflee-ubuntu-ppa-xenial.list
But tha PPA seems to be not recognised when I try to install from it:

Inputting the password from the live system should allow you to access your
encrypted data. But you can perform as well the backup from the text session
you get with Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or Ctrl+Alt+F2 or...). For example, you can plug
an external hard drive and copy /home there ('mount' tells
Can you get terminal ctrl+alt+F1/F2?
If the disk is not encrypted, you can rescue and retreive your home directory
by booting a live CD or USB thumb drive. Just do a plain copy transfer to
another medium.

True, but wouldn't that mean having to import an increasing number of
packages from elsewhere? If the value of basing Trisquel off an upstream
distro is that it limits the amount of work
Hello,

The disk is encrypted so I could not get into it by using a live USB.

I'd start with a netinstall, so that you don't have any MATE stuff
cluttering your system.
To install GNOME:

I'm not sure exactly how much extra work it would be. It would certainly
help if there were an arch32-like community project. That said, I don't
see any reason to expect Ubuntu to drop 32-bit
Given the rather modest hardware requirements of MATE, I do not see much
point in Trisquel Mini anymore. But maybe I am wrong: are there many current
users of Trisquel Mini who have 1 GB (or less) of RAM?
