I wholeheartedly agree with this decision. LTS 4tW!
Regarding Debian - I can see advantages and disadvantages to moving over. The
important ones, as have already been pointed out in this thread, are systemd
vs upstart, Wayland vs Mir, etc.
Perhaps the most important advantage Debain would have as a base, though, is
the fact that they also [I]try[/I] to be a free software distro, so
everything is de-blobbed already and they'll throw up [I]far[/I] fewer
freedom issues than Ubuntu will, thus alleviating the pressure on the
Trisquel team.
Disadvantages are the obvious out-of-date packages in stable. Not sure how to
address this to be honest.
Thoughts?
