Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot activate Desktop effects

[Igor . Zobin]

proprietary software isn't objected by the Ubuntu community, so they simply  
include it in their distribution, or help the users to easily install it. But  
there are lots of problems that come with it, even though sometimes it allows  
to extend functionality of certain hardware. Trisquel is made by removing all  
the proprietary software from Ubuntu, so if you want to use Trisquel, you  
should try to use free software only, like intended by the developers. This  
approach has many advantages, ethical and technical.

Bottom line, try to use the experimental drivers for your GeForce. If it  
doesn't work as expected, aim for buying a card that will run better with  
free software drivers  and use Ubuntu in the meantime.
