Stick to gnome or lxdle - those two are officially supported DEs by the
trisquel community. Gnome works flawlessly and is very customizable and good
looking.
to install an app in trisquel - go to terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install "name of program"
exmple - to install vlc - sudo apt-get install vlc
you can view youtube vids in fullhd without flash/gnash and without even a
browser with "minitube"
-do this in terminal - sudo apt-get install gdebi
-go to this webpage and download the .deb for your trisquel (32 or 64 bit) --
