The forum is more conversation-oriented. If you keep on editing your posts,
the conversation does not make much sense...
And, please, try to understand what is the technical work that the Trisquel
project achieves. Large modifications to free software programs are done
upstream, so that all the distributions can profit from them. E.g., hardware
is supported thanks to work achieved in the Linux project. The technical
work on Trisquel 8 Flidas mainly is writing the package helpers that
https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/tree/flidas/helpers
lists. Those helpers slightly modify programs that were taken in the main
and universe repositories of Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus. They (almost?)
always themselves come from Debian main (not contrib or unfree): the package
helpers solve issues that exist in Debian main as well.
We all agree that Debian is politically closer to Trisquel than Ubuntu. That
just does not mean choosing Debian as a base is easier.
