Hi all.
I won't beat around the bush. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 on an Acer Aspire
V5-122P, and once I wiped Windows, out of the box Ubuntu works. Wifi,
brightness, suspend/hibernate, the lot. It's great. Even getting this far
from where I've come from was a learning experience.
However...I'm not happy. It isn't free, and freedom means an awful lot to me.
I'm ready to make a stand, whatever the inconvenience. It may not be pretty,
but it will be free.
I can install unetbootin and then install Trisquel, but from previous
experiments I know I am going to have some issues. I can only tell you I'm
very new to all this coming from a Mac and Windows background, so I will need
walking through the issues to make my setup (more) usable, but I'm willing to
make some sacrifices in the name of freedom. I'm not expecting perfection. In
future I will make sure my hardware is more conducive to running free
software, but in the meantime maybe this will help somebody else with the
same gear. I can post my findings on h-node.
Can you help me do this? I'm ready to work with a free software distro, and
then when my current laptop expires, to move to a fully free system. I'd do
that now, but to be honest, I just can't afford to swap right now. I need
make the most of what I've got, and that means getting more mileage from my
current device without hurting either myself or others.
SAM.
