I do not, but if I ever decide to start one I'll make sure to let you know.
Glad to meet you as well!
For me, the trackpoint is perfect but I see why someone might want to use a
touchpad. There are external touchpads like these, in fact:

which might be a solution.
Learning to do certain tasks on the command line is really useful.
Fortunately, most tutorials originally tailored to Ubuntu will apply to
Trisquel as well - so learning material is abundant.
Regarding the colors - I have no real idea on how to fix it and am not quite
sure if I understand the problem you're describing.
