I've cleared the secure boot keys and got the live USB started with no
trouble. Going through all the system settings most things are working just
fine with a few exceptions.
I notice the GNOME Tweak Tool dosen't have an option for extensions. Is this
removed in Trisquel or does it have something to do with my version (3.8.4)?
As you all predicted Trisquel dosen't seem to recognise my AMD graphics at
all (I didn't disable it myself), instead it displays Intel Ivybridge Mobile.
I looked around for the additional drivers program like I would in Ubuntu,
but couldn't find it. I'm guessing because there are no free NVIDIA or AMD
drivers, Trisquel dosen't include that program by default?
As predicted Wifi dosen't function and dosen't even seem to be an avaliable
option. Ethernet and Bluetooth however work just fine. I see some of you have
suggested Wifi adaptors but I would like to try the internal solution, save
the USB port for something else and replace the Wifi card with this:

I did notice the caveat about Apple, HP, Lenovo, IBM, Dell, and Toshiba
products being restricted to Wifi cards from the same manufacturer. My
Ultrabook is a Samsung and physically looking at the Wifi card has an Intel
stamp on it: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Model:6235ANHMW. The Intel
website says this card supports Linux, but I'm guessing that dosen't include
the libre kernel.
I'm guessing since it's a Samsung Ultrabook with an Intel Wifi card it
dosen't have the same vendor lock in as the other brands above? Does anyone
have any experence here?
