Re: [Trisquel-users] Do we have a date for the Trisquel 8 release?
It's easy to get excited, and I'm sure the FSF $ helps, but it's definitely best to keep low expectations and be patient. It's reasonable to hope that Trisquel 8 could be out soon (this being May 2016, and last LTS release in 2014, never gone so long between releases in the past), and it is based on Ubuntu 16.04 which comes out July 1. Note, though, that it took 7 months from Ubuntu 14.04 until Trisquel 7, and 11 months from Ubuntu 12.04 to Trisquel 6. So at that rate we would be waiting at least until early 2017. Let's hope not, but let's keep reasonable expectations. I'm excited to see what comes!

Fair enough.

"It was a passing comment. It was admitted as much in another forum." Not exactly. I said "Indeed" indicating agreement with onpon4 that the initial comment came from me and went on to say that I probably jumped the gun by mentioning it because it seems to have become quite the topic of conversation since then and may not even work out in the end due to technical things. Time will tell.

It was a passing comment. It was admitted as much in another forum. Unless it comes from the actual development team then it's not really evidence. They said "GTK-based" desktop in the recent blog post. So it could easily be Xfce or full GNOME-Shell, which would both be ideal, or even Cinnamon.

Didn't jxself, who is an important person here, say recently that it was going to be MATE? It would be smarter to use MATE, considering that it will be officially supported upstream and is one of the most polished traditional desktops out there. Much better than trying to hack away at the limited Gnome fallback.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Do we have a date for the Trisquel 8 release?
someone on this forum said that it usually takes only a few months to remove ubuntu's crap to make it usable and stable. I forget when but it was like in early april I overheard this and so I thought it would be maybe done in july or august.

With Ruben being employed by the FSF, it helps with Trisquel development and hopefully gets a release within a month or so of Ubuntu 16.04. I'm excited about the MATE based main release and how it will look and function better than Trisquel 7. Any release dates or release windows set?
