About a year or so ago my brother, who is far from technical, got a laptop
and had me set it up. It was a Dell and to my surprise, the wireless worked
out of the box with the atheros driver. I then formatted the drive and
installed Trisquel 4.0 from scratch.
Guess what? He has had a smooth time using and navigating the OS with the
only issues being out of his control like a shoddy internet connection where
he thought the wireless was having issues. I set him up with the HTML 5
YouTube and hasn't needed or requested the Flash plugin.
The point I am making is that I agree with Chris in how Trisquel isn't just
for advanced users. It also shows the real strength of the OS that people
like him can use the internet and LibreOffice without touching non-free
software or even being aware of it.
I wasn't sure what threads the LAS team read that gave them their viewpoints,
but if Trisquel's biggest flaws are wireless and Flash, then it is nothing
tobfret about. Especially if Flash is being depreciated or outright ignored
on smartphones and tablets. Heck, isn't Windows 8 trying to depreciate Flash
as well?
