I wasn't recommending nonfree software. I was just looking for some good
games for my machine. All i said is that i had a steam account. This was
before i had Trisquel. This was before i knew free software existed. I hope
you understand what i really mean. Steam had importance for me back then
because i brought my favorite game from there (Doom/Doom II/Final Doom). When
i learnt about the FSF and Trisquel, I came to see how bad steam can be. I
really understand what you mean.
>>The Winfast DVR3200H requires a proprietary firmware. More generally, if
old hardware does not work with a recent Linux-libre kernel, then it probably
cannot work with free software.
I brought it secondhand from a recycling center. When i opened the hood on my
'new' computer, The first thing that i saw was that TV tuner. I really wanted
to use that machine to watch tv. But free software only gets limited support
outside outside the FSF's sphere of influence. Do you know any free firmware
replacemets for my aforementioned tv card (Because i dont want it to go to
waste!)
