Hey,
I'm new to linux in general but have used it from time to time. I recently
installed Trisquel and really like it. However, I have one issue that
bothers me. It seems from the boards and my futile google searches that one
cannot install software that isn't deemed "free" by the trisquel community.
Lets take firefox for example.
I realize that:
a.) The standard trisquel browser is basically firefox without the add-ons
b.) That I could have simply installed ubuntu instead (don't like the new
unity interface and don't want to use an older version)
c.) That firefox uses plug-ins/ add-ons that are proprietary/evil and that
rubs RMS the wrong way.
But I would still like to run the standard firefox. This page here
w4xf88ftiFhttps://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-updating-and-removing-software
has an article on adding things to the trisquel repository, but I was
unsuccessful at adding firefox to the trisquel repository. I was wondering
if I typed in the wrong thing into the APT line. Does anybody have examples
of how to add something to the APT line besides the one example on that web
page? Is it even possible to add software that has proprietary roots into
Trisquel (new to this)?
Sorry for my lengthy post and I honestly do not mean to offend anyone by my
intended choice of browser. I think this is a great distro and good for
someone like myself trying to learn linux. Any help would be appreciated
