Re: [Trisquel-users] Need to Uninstall Trisquel

[strypey]

It's good to know you can transform a standard Trisquel install into  
Trisquel-Mini by installing a couple of packages, but if the OP had done  
that, she couldn't be sure that any issues that came up were not the result  
of something that had happened with the older install. One benefit of doing a  
fresh install for testing purposes is that you know any issues that occur are  
endemic to that hardware/ software combination alone.

GNOME Shell definitely needs at least 2GB RAM. My 1GB netbook has not run  
reliably with GNOME Shell since I "upgraded" it to Trisquel 7, and was having  
issues with 6 too. Trisquel-Mini works better, although I prefer  
Enlightenment to LXDM, which is a bit of a toy by comparison. Enlightenment  
does have some issues, as desktop environments often to when added later to a  
system that wasn't assembled with them in mind. I'd love to see a 100% libre  
distro with Enlightenment as the default desktop, aimed at supporting older  
machines (XP and Vista laptops would be a good target).
