Hello All! I'm so glad to be here since installing Trisquel on an old HP
Windows machine, but there are some features that seem to be missing Even
when I tested it on a virtual machine on my Mac I couldn't find the top bar
the help often refers to, there were no hot corners or activity overview in
either place. Now that I installed Trisquel on the HP I hardly us the Mac, so
I want to get this as fully functional as possible.
The Super key sometimes works, some keyboard shortcuts don't work, and I
can't zoom in on the screen unless I'm in a window, the desktop icons don't
get very big, thogh on another account they did, it could be because I had
something set differently there which made that work, I don't remember, but I
may have had an accessibility feature enabled. My eyesight isn't great so I
had to get a magnifyer program but it's very jumpy and annoying to use.
Raising fonts often impedes some of the text on the screen, but I deal with
these inconveniences for the peace of mind of using a non proprietary system
without spyware. When I wiped out Windows I felt a great burden lifted from
me.
I was lucky to get help with this, it was very unexpected, someone online
guided me via a messenger service he found at a directory on the FSF site. I
saw it on that list also.
I set up an account on Pidgin with the XMPP, using my name at FSF where I am
an Associate Member. If anyone can help me with any of my tech problems it'd
be great, hen when we resolve them, I could share our solutions here.
I'd love to have others to chat with on there or someplace. The tech guy I
met through a Diaspora pod, there's quite a few GNU people on the pods I was
at, on one pod I joined, (with a different name) I saw Richard Stallman, he
shared info with me. I read some of his page and messages.
I was so happy to know of the FSF I jumped right in to help financially,
because I'm not good in technical skills. If I were a programmer I'd also
make the cursor bigger and have other features too. Having the choice to use
free software has made me very happy, so I'm glad I could help.
Sincerely, Misty :)
