I agree FREE software is even more important in this day and age and I'm all in 
100% using and promoting FREE/GNU software and trying to convert people.

Chromium is not free software, so we should dispense with that idea. There  
are several projects to try to strip out all the non-free licensed parts, but  
it appears to be a Herculean task, as Google has made a nasty tangled  
licensing mess of that code.

The whole point of Trisquel is to be a 100% libre Debian.

Running it in WSL defeats the point. Though I would find it amusing if  
ReactOS implemented a WSL (or would it be an RSL in this case?) Having a  
libre NT isn't a bad idea, I suppose you could in theory run 100% libre code  
on ReactOS. If there were FOSS x4500 drivers for windows server 2003, it  
could work, but it's not mature in it's development enough for production  
use.

Mmm, really nice presentation. I like it. Thanks, Jason.


Re: [Trisquel-users] Best browser? Also chess

I like pale moon, but there's a drama with MPL trademarks. It's really good  
though, It's like Firefox ESR in another direction.


For browsing without Javascript, I'd recommend you use Netsurf. It's only  
50MB when you launch it.



I don't know much about Chess, but for an XMPP Client called "Gajim", you can  
install a tic-tac-toe plugin. Somebody I was chatting with had really bad  
internet upstream issues in mumble where he could hear us, but he would drop  
too many packets and somebody in mumble said he was playing tic-tac-toe in  
gajim. Then I thought that could be really good for people with really bad  
shiternet, imagine if there was a plugin for texas hold up, yu-gi-oh or  
chess.
