Re: [Trisquel-users] Who of this community honestly runs Trisquel GNU/Linux?

[strypey]

I just put a new SSD in my netbook and tried both Trisquel 7 and Uruk 2.0  
(beta), which both run ok (1GB RAM, 32-bit single core!). I'm going to try  
Trisquel 8 (alpha). I have a desktop box that I've been running Trisquel 7 on  
too, with no major issues.

I have to admit I've been using Mint on my entertainment laptop. I recently  
switched to LMDE 2.0 (based on Debian testing rather than Ubuntu), but I  
would recommend Mint as a "halfway house" between Windows/ Mac and a libre  
distro. Mainly because it just works and looks pretty, giving a positive  
first user experience for those who are completely new to GNU-Linux. But I do  
warn them that it's not fully free, and that they may want to switch to a  
fully free distro once they get more comfortable with GNU-Linux.
