To be honest it was more of a curiosity. I did do a lot with freeware way back in the 90's, but I don't remember too much, those were my teenage years. I know just enough to be able to look at code and edit it with some reasearch and trial and error, but have no professional training other than C++, java and html courses taken way back in the early 2000s. I sort of moved away from that kind of stuff for years and then suddenly found myself working in IT about 8 years ago in an office enviroment because I know slightly more than your typical end user I guess lol. So frustration at the limitations of the Windows OS, along with a few interactions with "Linux" led me to looking into using it as an OS for my personal computer and learning more about it. As far as Trisquel, I ran across it researching what I needed to build myself a system and the idea of being able to use freeware exclusively caught my curiosity, so this machine (which I actually did buy not build) was a bit of an experiment for me you could say.
