[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Trisquel in Yeeloong Notebook

[cyberhawk]

Yeeloongs have a horrible battery time, because some hardware feature is not  
fully implemented yet. They also have no 2D/3D acceleration, because they use  
a graphicscard that requires proprietary firmware (it seems this makes every  
GUI you try to put on it extremely slow).

I understand those Yeeloongs look very tempting, but there are too many  
problems. RMS uses one, because he wants to have no non-free BIOS (or  
similar) on his computer. I once saw an interview where he elaborated on how  
he uses his laptop. He doesn't use the GUI most of the time, almost  
exclusively reads email and people send him whole websites per email if he  
cannot easily access them otherwise (too much Flash, too fancy design to read  
it in a browser for the CLI, etc.).
