I use Parabola on my netbook (1001PX) as the internal microphone didn't work in Trisquel Taranis (but worked fine in later versions) and I wanted to use a distro which is supported for a few years without needing to upgrade. I use Trisquel 4 and 5 on my desktop as it uses an integrated VIA graphics card which didn't work properly with the latest driver in Parabola (and in fact the driver in 5.0 didn't work either but I simply downloaded a newer .DEB package for a newer Ubuntu release to fix it). The notebook has no problem playing the 3D games I tried such as Neverputt, Neverball and Extreme Tux Racer. Most of the studff that requires non-free software works fine, e.g. most video sites I visit work fine with Linterna Magica and Totem plugin or Gecko Media Player and .RAR files can be extracted with unarchiver via the command line (it doesn't seem to be integrated with File Roller yet).
