Re: [Trisquel-users] Who of this community honestly runs Trisquel GNU/Linux?
>ARM-based EOMA68 computer before too long, I'd like more info on that. About Parabola, check Hyperbola. Is Parabola without SystemD. About the distros, in the end is the same. GuixSD, Trisquel, Parabola, Hyperbola are just packets. I am sure if GuixSD has a GUI installed made with Guile-curses or Guile-Web from a live web based config tool, it could be amazing and as easy as Trisquel.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Gnuinos
Nice. I suggest FreeSlack too, https://freeslack.net/ About packages, we could build everything from Slackbuilds except the propietary packages.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone using LibertyBSD? How does it compare to Trisquel?
Also, I suggest you to edit the limits on /etc/login.conf, (specially the heap to 16M and the RAM usage cap to your RAM size), otherwise browsers like iridium will crash. Then, run as root: cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf as root and reboot.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone using LibertyBSD? How does it compare to Trisquel?
Coudn't be possible to just modify Seamonkey? SeamonKey is much faster than Icecat, it provides nearly the sames features, WebGL included, and for that reason it will work better on non high-end machines.

Some dependencies on Mozilla.

Just get bsd.rd, place it on /, and boot from it from the boot boot prompt: [code]b bsd.rd[/code] Then choose Upgrade .

LibertyBSD 5.9 is out. http://libertybsd.net/ Now with self hosted repositories, with i386 and amd64 releases.

It's possible to have device automounting in OpenBSD as well as GNU/Linux. Maybe there is a wrong setup at /etc/rc.conf.local.

About LibretyBSD, I suggest you all to enable softupdates, specially on a laptop with an external power source: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#SoftUpdates Also, if you are on a laptop, enable the APM daemon NOW. As root: # rcctl enable apmd # rcctl set apmd flags -A # rcctl start apmd

Upgrade the kernel and the MESA stack, LLVMPIPE based rendered is much faster with newer versions. About the high themps, use CPUlimit with prboom (run prboom), next run cpulimit -l 40 -p `pgrep prboom` in a shell.

Re: [Trisquel-users] The Ubuntu Userspace for Windows Developers -- A Project by Canonical and Microsoft. What is your idea?
Classic EEE. But GNU/Linux being so fragmented gives us a huge advantage to avoid that. It's a good start if they begin to use a GNU/Windows environment instead of Powershell, anyway. The next logical step is asking developers to replace that NT kernel with a Linux-libre one. You know what I mean.
Re: [Trisquel-users] MAME is now 100% free software
The ROMs are non-free, but considering this a legacy gaming preservation project for historical reasons, I could make an exception (and some old games have its company long defunct, so getting the source code is literally impossible).

About the SNES, you have free assemblers as xa65 in Trisquel to write games for SNES emulators (as a challenge, to learn CPU machine language or whatever)

Re: [Trisquel-users] [POLL] What is your preferred desktop environment of Trisquel 8 ?
Mate, is the best one, if Trisquel backports Mate's repos in order to get recent features. If not, XFCE4.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What software would you like to see added to the repository?
A "playlibre" repository, with the libre games available from PlayDeb. Given PlayDeb has an deb-src repository, rebuilding the libre games wouldn't be very difficult.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What software would you like to see added to the repository?
Due to higher version numbers, they could belong to Trisquel Backports easily.

Re: [Trisquel-users] So, where do you guys get Content that's Non-free yet DRM-free? (not talking about Games unless there's a free engine)
" GOG," Scummvm works with a ton of adventures. Just get the deb files from www.scummvm.org . Even better, try the nighly, it supports even more games. They have propietary data, but the engine is 100% free.

You can attach a Scummvm ROM with a concatenated game on it.

You already have the decompiled ASM for GB Pokemon ROMs at github.

Just the 1st Unreal Engine. It's ultra tweaked for DX mods and actually well known, but nobody dares to recreate it under a libre license, sadly.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Atrack developers to Trisquel
Giving Parabola is rolling-release, GUIXSD has a better approach than Parabola. They should be only two PC distros: Trisquel (for the ease of use) and GUIXSD as a moving/experimenting plataform.

Valve could liberate the Source engine and provide paid support for game developers easily, they could still earn a LOT of cash.

Maybe the Xorg driver for Intel could matter a bit, also, MESA GL functions.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What games do you play on your computers
FSX uses custom scenery, which has better quality (not as geometry, but better enviroments). Graphically, since FLightgear 3.0 you can use the new Renbrandt renderer and is on par with FSX. Of course you should activate Terrasync, increase a lot the default draw and quality distance and have a LOT of RAM to load those graphics. 16gb and a powerful Intel graphics card or a *very* well supported nouveau card with current MESA and kernel drivers. Seriously, Flightgear can be *very* taxing, as much as X-Plane and more. http://www.flightgear.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/shuttle.jpg The Shuttle, low orbit. http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22623&start=15 Custom airport models And look the image: those clouds are automatically generated from the *actual* real world weather from METAR. FG is just awesome, it has modules to connect even with ADB-S and GNURadio. And maybe you can see your real time position in the latest Marble , but I have to check the its KML support .
Re: [Trisquel-users] What games do you play on your computers
If you care about the settings: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G630 @ 2.70GHz Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Desktop 4GB of RAM it looks like this at 1280x800, 15-20FPS, all shaders enabled. Note this is Paris, a taxing environment. Most of the time I have 30-40 FPS. Back in the day I played the game with a GeForce2 with the absolute lowest settings at 800x600. Now I think you could play it really well at medium settings at 1024x760 with the ThinkPenguin's machine with the nouveau drivers and an updated kernel + MESA. I downloaded the game from PlayDEB. Just enable the repo, install the game and disable it if you are afraid of some non-free (literally
Re: [Trisquel-users] What games do you play on your computers
GPLv2 http://wiki.flightgear.org/GNU_General_Public_License . And the data is freely shareable. But beware. Full aircraft setup ~8gb Full world scenery: ~90gb Altough you can download the scenery you'd like with http://wiki.flightgear.org/TerraMaster and well, with just Europe, Japan and the west coast of the US you can do it with 40-50GB. And by activating Terrasync, if you just fly between 4-5 countries... you are fine with less than 10gb.

Well, prboom+ is lighter than Gloome, you don't need any Zdoom features for most PWADS.

https://github.com/marrub--/GLOOME/ GPL compliant ZDOOM clone. I use prboom+ as the main port, with FreeDoom 0.9 as the Doom IWAD replacements for PWADs. They work really well.
