Actually, to be fair, nothing on the front page really promotes Trisquel. The
closest thing to it is the description that Trisquel is a "fully free
operating system" which I'd find uninteresting were it not for my interest in
going fully free.
I reckon it'd be more attractive if the front page greeted visitors with big
letters reading:
"Computing today is an integral part of civilisation. People use it everyday,
promised that they get their freedom and privacy.
HOWEVER, they get neither. We are restricted when it comes what we can do
with software. We can't study it, or even use it on more computers than its
author allows us (i.e. Microsoft Office).
WE DON'T EVEN OWN IT. Under the letters of the law we're only licensed to use
it. We are fooled into thinking that we are buying software, when in reality
we're only allowed to, in many ways, HIRE them.
All the while companies do so while spying on us - and at the same time
giving a misleading "privacy statement" (the reality being the statement of A
LACK THEREOF), and then demanding their rights without fulfilling OURS.
Thus, we in the community of Trisquel users use a different kind of operating
system. An operating system that solves those problems. An operating system
where the user OWNS, not hire, the programmes. Where the user can study and
modify it, or hire someone to do so. Where schools can customise it to suit
their needs.
Or supermarkets, or auto dealers, or the White House, or the computer you
use.
We are users of Trisquel, a Distribution of GNU + Linux. Join us, our
fantastic community, and most importantly, our fantastic operating system.
One that offers not only freedom, or privacy. We also offer ease of use, and
accessability-helping programmes for those that need them, and a simply
beautiful working space.
And choice, and freedom from registration, or us spying on you.
Yes, all those is yours. You OWN it, not HIRE it. We enjoyed making it. We
hope you enjoy using (and owning) it as well"
