It's not usually Trisquel that people find difficult. It's usually that without the proprietary bits (not included in Trisquel) there are certain things you just can't do/figure out. Sometimes there is a solution and asking here is the first step, but sometimes there is no good solution- or its too difficult.

If your finding thats the case and you can't pull Trisquel off consider the next least-bad option: another distribution. Most distributions include some non-free bits and/or enable you to install non-free bits. That fixes the functionality problem at the expense of your freedom. That's bad for your freedom, but it's still a lesser problem to solve than remaining on a completely proprietary system like Microsoft Windows.

On a distribution like Ubuntu (popular for its ease of use and broad developer support) you can still avoid most non-free software and as time / ability / energy permits try and get off the remaining non-free bits your still using.

You can always ask questions about free software concerns (like is xyz free software) even if your not on Trisquel here. While that isn't something you'd do normally on most distribution-specific forum/irc channel/etc the people here care about one thing: your freedom. Not what distribution your on. People will help. It's a great community and there are people here running other free distributions like Parabola GNU/Linux (harder, but the distribution doesn't have a specific forum, I don't think).
