I am probably the only one who will say this, so I shouldn't have to
bother saying that this is my opinion and definitely not that of the
Trisquel project.
People will say that if you use one non-free blob, you might as well
just use a non-free GNU/Linux or even Windows. I do not believe this.
I think using Trisquel with a non-free blob or two is a "lesser evil"
than going completely non-free, as long as you are consciously aware
of the decision you made and you strive to be as free as possible.
Keep in mind, however, that if you choose to go this route, the
Trisquel community won't help you. We generally don't help anyone with
non-free software, drivers, or firmware.
Of course, the best option is to find a better graphics card, but from
what I can tell you're talking about a laptop, and I'm not sure how
many laptops allow you to switch out graphics cards nowadays.
I had an Acer laptop (one of the Acer Timeline models) and it worked
flawlessly with Trisquel.
Yeah its a laptop, the thiing is i wanna be able to use the gfx card for
some Linux gaming if i want.
And also for the ability to switch cards, dont need the fan running
constantly and make computer superhot :)
Atm im on Mint11 but i dont see why i couldnt switch over and use the
non free blob for the gfx card, question is should i go with the
currents sts and upgrade once released?
