I've been installing GNU/Linux since the early 2000s, but I've never yet
successfully installed PureOS. Also, it only releases 64-bit versions, so I
can't even try it on my older laptop. I'm definitely not one of the Purism
disestablishmentarians, but I don't really see the benefit of using
Thank you very much for the reply. I still keep a few 32-bit computers,
including two ThinkPad X40, currently used for GNU/Hurd testing.
Since I probably won't use said 32-bit computers to run latest packages
(i.e., for non-critical tasks only), I may consider to install incoming

There has been some discussion of this in recent meetings. Ubuntu still
provides some 32-bit binary packages in order to support Wine

That's a fair point. Devuan's devs appear to have a specific philosophy of

I was initially thrown off by the [1][nosystemd repository], which currently

I did not know that Devuan was wasting time removing those references. That's

explain. When it comes to the actual software in their repositories, which

I think Debian is a better choice than Devuan for an upstream distro, at
least these days. Starting with Bullseye (and with Buster if you

Ah, seems like some developer has a strange sense of humor. Thank you for the
info. It does seem stable now. I was not trying it in April 2019.

being hacked by some hacker group. I searched an information about this event

There's always PureOS. Based on Debian testing and endorsed by the Free
Software Foundation. Runs flawlessly on my Libreboot x200 and the software
repos are nice and up to date.

I hope you don't expect me to respond to that with some fact-filled defense,
as I have no clue what your are talking about and you've given me no source
or info I could possibly check up on.

I would vote for basing off of Devuan. With Debian and Ubuntu you are locked

There have been already so many posts discussing this issue. I'm also
negative toward Ubuntu as a base.
If you prefer Debian, you can use it anyway. The main freedom issue of Debian
is the existence of the (unofficial) non-free repository which provides
non-free firmware. But it's not
Hello, glad to see you in Trisquel Forum! As far as I know, this issue
is often discussed already. Personally, I don't think changing base
would accelerate or enhance Trisquel development especially for now.

say similar thing
