I thought the bottom line was the amount of development/testing Ubuntu has  
fired at it compared to Debian/sid etc. Seems to make sense to me. If Ubuntu  
turn components propietary or create nasty dependencies, my guess is Trisquel  
and it's users alike will drop it like it's hot.

the distro is dead

You can certainly be forgiven for thinking so. It seemed the same to me.

But we were wrong!

FWIW I feel pretty much the same vague sense of dis-ease with the idea of  
basing on a Canonical product. However, I appreciate that Ruben is plenty  
smart enough to have considered the argument, and made his decisions  
regardless. If it matters intensely, jump the gnewsense train. Or fork!  
That's the beauty of the F/LOSS. Good hunting.

Because ubuntu goes his own way more and more; this increases incompatibility  
to other choices.
Think of the whole MIR story. Who knows whether one day, unity will be the  
only desktop environment which is able to run on ubuntu?

Looks very bad for kde at the moment; this is what I've heard.
Canonical does nasty things and it will become more and more difficult to  
remove those things. One day, It might be impossible, I don't know.


And it's very questionable how long ubuntu will stay the most popular  
distribution with their policy.

Because Debian much more close to ideals of FSF than Ubuntu(and others

If we will switch to Debian, then we will optimize our efforts.

Try gNewSense. Version 3.0 (MetaD) is based on the latest Debian Testing.

My biggest fear here is Canonical's/Ubuntu's NIH syndrome, from unity to  
upstart to Mir. If the rest of the community sticks with standard desktops,  
systemd  Wayland, where will that leave Trisquel? I would rather see  
Trisquel follow the community than Ubuntu, but I have ZERO trust for  
Canonical.

Where is gNewSense 3.0 version? I can found only gNewSense 2.3 on official

2013-05-18 Thread shiretoko

Yes, absolutely right.
For a distro like trisquel with all the free-software minded base, ubuntu is  
not the best choice.



Concerning Gnewsense:
On the website, I only find version 2.3 which is way too old;
Thought the new version will be based on Debian Squeeze, but don't know where  
I read this or if it's true.

I am no developer. However, even though I have reservations about Trisquel  
forking from Ubuntu, I do believe it was a smart move to fork from such a  
popular distribution. At the time Trisquel was formed, Canonical did not  
appear as they appear now, and had not made so many moves contradictory to  
the community.
