Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquelize other non-Free GNU/Linux distributions

You can wish for magic all you want, but that doesn't make it possible. The  
way GNU/Linux distributions organize their software repositories, not to  
mention the basic structure of those repositories, varies dramatically. The  
process of removing proprietary software from Ubuntu is not the same as  
removing proprietary software from Mint, and it's even more different from  
the process of removing proprietary software from Arch. Additionally, the  
resulting systems are completely different. This is why single systems like  
these aren't based off of multiple distros; it would be impractical and  
confusing.
