Re: [Trisquel-users] Haven't had any software updates for a while

It's a volunteer effort so no guarantees. I never saw the appeal of these  
derivatives over Firefox other than ideological purity. I don't think  
ideological purity should be at the expense of security updates, as long as I  
can use a system with libre software alone. I am thinking of switching to  
Qubes OS because as far as I can tell it has the same policies as Debian, so  
I have asked on the mailing list about this.
It's simply not worth compromising for your web browser. Firefox, which is  
essentially low-hanging fruit for attackers, should always be kept up to  
date. Therefore, you should use upstream if possible.
