Michał:
Well... I now have a more pleasant boot, where it shows much less (to none)
text messages, and, instead of the error messages when shutting down, I now
only see the splash animation. But the computer still takes two minutes to
shut down... So, I guess the only thing this procedure did was to hide the
error messages.
I don't know how "normal" this messages are, but I guess that's something I
can live with, for the moment.
The Ubuntu version on which this Trisquel 5.5 version is based on also gave
me serious problems. So this doesn't seem to be Trisquel's fault. I know that
this 5.5 version is, in an ultimate analysis, based on an unstable version of
Debian. So I guess we can't expect much from this particular version. The
next one will be based on an LTS version of Ubuntu, which is, itself, based
on a testing version of Debian and should, therefore, have less problems.
We'll see what happens with the next release.
Daniel:
Yes. Since I have a good (i.e. broadband) connection, where I can spend as
much time as I want informing myself about this, I now always choose my
hardware according to GNU/Linux compatibility. And have, since, avoid all
sorts of trouble, by simply buying stuff that I know work well under
GNU/Linux.
