I agree with chaosmonk that Trisquel is intended as a common-or-garden desktop distro, not a multimedia studio. But I would love to see an up-to-date libre distro (or flavour) targeting the needs of the multimedia producers who use distros like UbuntuStudio, Artix, or AV Linux.

Historically there were two FSF-endorsed distros that aimed to provide a multimedia studio out-of-the-box. One was Musix which was recently retired from the list, as it's no longer in active development. The other is Dyne:Bolic, which hasn't had a release since 2011. The Dyne folks have been working on Heads (a libre replacement for the Tails live distro), which last had a beta release a year ago. The release announcement said: > "probably the final release before heads is ready to apply for the GNU free distribution list"

... which made me think that if and when Heads is added to the list, it would be a replacement for Dyne:Bolic. But it looks like Dyne expressed an intention to release a new version of Dyne:Bolic based off Devuan, since it's listed under "upcoming distributions" here:
