If you are using Ubuntu Studio 18.10 then you cannot trisquelize it at all. The script replaces Ubuntu's repository with the corresponding Trisquel repository, and in this case there is no corresponding Trisquel repository. If you are using Ubuntu Studio 18.04 then you technically *could* trisquelize it, because Trisquel 9 is based on 18.04. However, Trisquel 9 development just recently started and many packages are missing. I would wait until Trisquel 9 development is further along before using it for anything other than testing purposes. > I really wish Ubuntu Studio was used as the base system for Trisquel > because audio configurations are so sensitive. See my comment here.[1] > I am trying my best to stay Libre. If you want to keep running Ubuntu, here are some things you can do to address or at least be aware of some of its freedom issues. I can't guarantee this will address everything. It would be better to run a FSDG distro. - Add jxself's repo[2] and replace Ubuntu's blobby kernel with Linux-libre. - Install a free browser like Icecat. - Disable the Multiverse and Restricted repositories. - Use Synaptic Package manager and filter by origin to make sure that you don't have any packages from Multiverse or Restricted installed. - Remove any packages installed that are listed in ubuntu-purge[3] as non-free. (Note that this list is for Ubuntu 16.04, so it might not be 100% complete for your version of Ubuntu.) - Look at Trisquel's package helpers[4] to see which packages Trisquel modifies. Some of them are just modified for branding purposes, but others are modified for freedom reasons, so be wary that these packages might be problematic. (Again, this list might not be 100% complete for your version of Ubuntu.
