[Trisquel-users] Hardware Issues in Trisquel? Buy a Pre-Installed Trisquel Computer.

[mdunivan]

The best and easiest way to switch to Trisquel is to buy a computer with  
Trisquel pre-installed.

Users new to Trisquel have enough to adjust to without dealing with hardware  
issues.  The user experience is different, the programs names are different,  
and non-GNU Public License(GPL)'ed things won't work: e.g. Adobe Flash  
browser plugin (.f4p)--good riddens, even Steve Jobs disliked Flash.  The  
ideals of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the premissiveness of GPL'ed  
software could even be new concepts to the new Trisquel user.

Converting computers that came with something other than Trisquel not only  
can create hardware support headaches, but it also fails to fund the computer  
vendors that are dedicated to building computers with components with GPL'ed  
software drivers.  These vendors then can fund the OEM's that are dedicated  
to selling components with GPL'ed software drivers.

This is also a donation to the GPL'ed software cause.  For a given donation  
amount, one gets a computer with Trisquel installed and fully functional  
hardware.

Your WiFi card, graphics card, etc. doesn't work in Trisquel?  Spare the  
headache and the frustration: Buy a computer from a vendor that has already  
gone to H-Node.org and suffered though the GPL driver support issues when  
building the computer.

Think Penguin and ZaReason are the computer vendors that sell computers with  
Trisquel preinstalled.

Please post other computer vendors that sell computers with Trisquel  
installed.
