I have to agree with the original poster. This distribution peaked around
2010/2011 and hasn't been the same since. It looks worse than before (which
can be fixed with MATE if they still want a classic look) and communication
between Ruben and the community is at an all time low. He works for the FSF,
yet cannot find time for his FSF endorsed distro.
The attitude he has of keeping us all waiting for a release needs to stop.
Especially when he doesn't release any updated ISOs during the lifetime of a
major release. They get horribly outdated to the point where some people
cannot even install due to fixes made upstream by the Ubuntu point release
ISOs being ignored by Trisquel.
Besides the curation of a few packages, what is he real difference between
Ubuntu and Trisquel if someone only enables the main and universe repos, uses
the Linux Libre kernel, and purges the linux-firmware package? There has been
some questionable removals of free software from Trisquel like Chromium and
the ZFS packages that are removed on fanboys and misinformation.
I don't blame you if you want to leave.
