When recommending Trisquel, I suggest noting the technical aspects more than
the ethical aspects. Since most people never thought about software from the
point of view of ethics, they will have difficulties to understand the
arguments and more likely not try the distro.
From this point of view advantages of Trisquel might be:
- More compatible Gnome desktop (easier for Windows-folk to understand, works
better if no 3D-acceleration support is present (which might be a problem
with any distribution, even though on Trisquel it's more likely).
- Higher stability due to modified kernel.
- Support can be given by ANY kind of problem, because of the modified kernel
there isn't a component, that the free software community as a whole can't
give support for.
- Based on Ubuntu, which means most software that is compiled for GNU/Linux
will run. The amount of software compiled as a .deb for Ubuntu is higher,
than for any other distro.
