>Have you actually tried updating your kernel, as I suggested half an hour
after your opened this thread? Again, see
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/update-linux-libre-kernel to do so...
Yes, I did that last night. I clicked on the link you offered and I followed
the instructions. It did its thing and said that I needed to reboot, and
asked if I wanted to restart now, so I clicked yes. It rebooted and when I
got back to my desktop... I had no wifi card any more, I couldn't
connect\mount any external HDDs or Flash drives, and basically nothing would
work... I was not at all happy with your suggestion. I have just now had time
to reinstall Trisquel from the ground up, and do all of the updates, again,
and set up my browser with all my addons, again...
Its just my luck that when I start attempting to be "free" it would turn out
that I own THE WORST PC ON EARTH. Sure, the GNU\Linux OS can be downloaded
for free, but no one tells you that you will end up paying $500 to $1,000
obtaining a PC that will actually run it well, in terms of actually achieving
the full freedom and privacy possible. I do not mean to be rude, but this is
stressing me out.
