Trisquel 6 was using a libre version of Linux 3.2.  If you are not afraid of  
unpatched vulnerabilities (I do not think anybody is backporting fixes to  
such antique kernels), I guess you could install a .deb of that version.


I do not know where to find Trisquel 6's deb packages.  However, I found  
http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.2.0-4gnewsense1-amd64_3.2.57-3+deb7u1gnewsense1_amd64.deb  
in gNewSense's repository.  After downloading that file, double-clicking on  
it should propose its installation.


After installing, reboot and; in the "Advanced options for Trisquel" (or  
something like that) of GRUB, choose the newly installed kernel.  If the  
kernel suits you, you can then remove the newer kernels or, safer, keep them  
but configure GRUB to boot version 3.2 by default.  That is done through the  
variable GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub (you can write GRUB_DEFAULT=saved  
and GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true to boot by default the last version that was  
booted).

If a user of this forum can help you, I would bet on jxself, who maintains  
that Linux-libre repository: https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
