"Teaching about freedom is not much use if there is no free OS that people
can actually install."
I would like to underscore this point. It is basic.
I'm a layman; a novice GNU/linux user who supports the premise of libre OS.
How can I reach out to friends to tell them about Trisquel, and encourage
them to try it when the system isn't "user friendly" enough to use?
I'm able to persevere with Trisquel because 1. I have the time to
troubleshoot the basics and 2. because of the great support and patience of
members of the forum. If I didn't have either I could not consider
Trisquel, and for now I have to direct novices towards Ubuntu as alternative
to Mac or Windows because it "just works".
