Re: [Trisquel-users] Information about Trisquel

Well, you have to bear in mind that there aren't so much very recommendable  
free distros für the majority of users.
Gnewsense is very old, parabola is based on arch and (though I don't have any  
experiences with it) may be unapropriate for beginners, dragora has an exotic  
packet management system and so on.
You see, trisquel is just a clean, solid, well maintained and easy to use  
distro.
It is ubuntu with the lack of the bad and annoying things. First is  
proprietary software (bad), second are things like unity, the software center  
or the apportgtk thing (never encountered it in trisquel).

In my opinion, trisquel did nothing magical, but the right thing. So the  
changes applied to ubuntu are not huge, but they are well chosen. And thus  
it's no wonder the fsf is proud of it.
I'm just happy it's there.
