Dear Jxself
First, thanks for the work on new long-awaited Trisquel 8.
Well, as an old Apple user and a quite active person on the french forum,
there is not such a gap between Ruben an I than I had with Steve Jobs.
I can't see myself the other way than as a member of an association.
I read that few years ago, 3% off the total of gross national product of
France came from non lucrative association (which have a official national
status).
By talking about Trisquel around me as a user (and I recently talked about it
last week-end to a Linux Mint user), I promote it.
I do some assistance here like Apple would do. Giving a living distro makes
it attractive.
Unfortunately, I think libre computer sellers sould lower their prices to
help projects like Trisquel or even other free softwares.
I do graphics so I need a good screen and enough power.
One of the solution could be buying an old MacBook to install Libreboot. I
didn't started as a hardware hacker spirit which is very important, I think.
As a french penson I always though by the term Libre rather than Free.
Trisquel is not free beer for me.
So I looked the prices of Windows and Apple licences. But they have their
proper softwares like iTunes and so on.
So you just can't really compare because other softwares are not our project.
So, talking about the price of Trisquel is nonsens for me.
I'll give 30 € as a support contribution for Trisquel 8 because I just like
it.
