[Trisquel-users] Re : How to shut up Windows users
What I saw was not untrue information but just an add for a gaming os apparently based on linux kernel, and other people saying "I prefer win 7" Or "I prefer win 8.1". I saw nothing wich looked like a debate or something like that. Just people saying quite meaningless things.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Closing Gmail/Outlook accounts.What is the easy way to backup all mails?
1. Open evolution and compose a new mail. 2. Attach the .eml file as an attachment to this mail. 3. Save the mail and close the compose window. 4. Select the mail from the Evolution main window. 5. Below the viewing pane there will be an option to view the attachment inline. Click on it and enjoy.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How to shut up Windows users
Saying that GNU/Linux performs poorly and that Windows is faster (performs better) is a lie.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to shut up Windows users
It's almost never a good idea to accuse someone of lying. Even if it's true, the accusation only makes you look aggressive and antagonistic. If someone says something that you think is untrue, point it out, but in a way that assumes good faith. For example: "Could you elaborate on how Windows is faster than GNU/Linux? My experience tells me the opposite." Also, you need to be open to the possibility that you may be wrong, or that there may be some nuance which makes both you and the other person partially correct. A Windows system can
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to shut up Windows users
Having had another look at the thread, it seems to me that you made a bunch of posts decrying Windows in that thread, and they were either moved or deleted. I think you did something wrong here, and the moderators did something right. See my post above. As for untrue information, see my post below. But in what's left of that thread, I don't see anything which is untrue, except for an obvious troll post at the bottom. Other than that, I see a response to you calling Windows a "shit platform" which points out that GNU/Linux is not a very good choice for proprietary software games, and this is true. He then in that same post praised GNU/Linux as useful for programming, and it seems you took this to mean that GNU/Linux is only useful for programming, for some reason.

[Trisquel-users] Thoughts on Trisquel 7.1 based off of Ubuntu 14.04.3 with release in July or August
I loaded up a live CD of Trisquel 7 the other day to test out MATE without hurting my system and ran into a few issues. I have an Nvidia GTX 970 video card and as you may or may not know, the 900 series hasn't received decent support within the kernel until the 3.19 release. I'm talking native detection and basic support without installing the non-free Nvidia drivers. So this got me thinking. Most other major distributions offer point releases of their major releases to keep their ISOs fresh. Ubuntu does it (14.04.2), Debian does it (8.1), Linux Mint does it (17.2), and of course CentOS/RedHat do it (6.3). Why does Trisquel have to be the exception? With Trisquel based off of the LTS releases of Ubuntu and having Ubuntu 14.04.3 around the corner, why not release an updated Trisquel ISO (7.1 maybe?) that has the Vivid backport stack incorporating the 3.19 kernel and newer Xorg? As of today, the linux-generic-lts-vivid kernel is ready, but xserver-xorg-lts-vivid package is NOT fully integrated. Both will be there as part of the Ubuntu LTS Enablement Stack this month or at least by August. I know you can always say "install the kernel after" or "just run netinstall" but some people want to run a live session off of their CD/DVD/USB drive first and then install via Ubiquity. Wouldn't it be better if people had a newer kernel from the start so they run into less issues when testing their hardware? So please consider this as an option so the Trisquel ISOs don't grow stale. Especially since they offer packages that are at least a year too old now.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Could systemd be an inconvenient on portability?

[Trisquel-users] Has anyone here ever tried to install URC? It's apparently a distributed IRC replacement...
I'm not nearly smart enough to figure out how to put everything in those indexes together and make a working program out of it all, there's no step-by-step install guide I can find. But a distributed version of IRC is something I've wanted for years! http://josephswilliams.com/software/urcd/doc/URC.txt

Re: [Trisquel-users] Osmo has suddenly stopped running.
That fixed it, thank you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could systemd be an inconvenient on portability?
This is probably because Arch maintainers are using the easy way and marking systemd as a dependency, even though the software you're trying to install don't have systemd as a hard-dependency, take into account that systemd is the default in Arch since 2012. This is why I don't use distros that use software that I don't like by default, even if an alternative is available in that distro. Because chances are you get a half-broken system with the alleged alternative.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Has anyone here ever tried to install URC? It's apparently a distributed IRC replacement...
There's source https://github.com/JosephSWilliams/urcd/tree/master/src But the license isn't convincing https://github.com/JosephSWilliams/urcd/blob/master/LICENSE "/dev/null" what a bad joke. Maybe a nice message telling him to put it under a free license will fix it.
