Hi Everyone
A couple of days ago I install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu.
Long story short I actually felt dirty after(Stallman has converted me
and I did not even know it), I uninstalled them. Then I got to thinking
that there was other non-free stuff on Ubuntu and decided to move on.
gNewSense did not work out(I'm on a 64 bit machine, maybe thats why) so
I installed Trisquel.
Anyhow over the years I have come to the conclusion that
software(proprietary or floss) is usually not as advertised and I
expected a huge fight to move to a pure free distro. It took less then
20 minutes of work to:
install Trisquel
set up dual monitors
move all by configuration and data files from my old drive
set up thunderbird
migrate from firefox to web browser
and set up a network printer
This was too easy! When we move to a libre kernel do we just lose eye
candy like flash and some device drivers? is the kernel 99.9% identical?
gNewSense has been around since 2006, why don't they support 64 bit,
your(now were)the new kid on the block and support it?
If my computer really contains no non-free software then this is
amazing(my head is still spinning). I hope I can help out with this
noteworthy project-Patrick
