Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel needs to be rebooted and based on Ubuntu 18.04

I agree with t3g that Trisquel should be based on an up to date version of  
Ubuntu, so that it will be compatible with new software and libraries  
(without requiring messing around with unofficial repositories). t3g, if you  
need more up to date software libraries and packages in the meantime you can  
try the stable Hyperbola distribution (based on Arch with Debian patches but  
not a rolling release) or the rolling release Parabola. Waiting for releases  
of Trisquel, which has cut down on releases since version 6 (beforehand they  
also had non-LTS releases such as 5.5) to focus on long term releases, and  
has also stopped providing releases in a timely manner (Trisquel 8 should  
have come out half a year after the Ubuntu it is based on was released which  
is almost 18 months ago), seems a wasted effort at this point in time.
