Not to nitpick although I think this isn't quite accurate. I believe the Lemote doesn't have a BIOS. It isn't that it has a free BIOS. It has a free program that initializes the hardware, shows a menu of kernels to run and boots one of them, supports network booting and flashing itself. It's

Not solved. Thanks gentlemen for your suggestions. Unfortunately I'm not really a geek. I tried to put into practice your advices, but without result. I solved by making a switch to Trisquel 5.5 and everything seems to work right now. Thanks again!

Good to know. That is about what I figured. It isn't using coreboot or a non-free BIOS. Obviously there is something present prior to the OS (although maybe I worded it badly). I think there is something which distinguishes the BIOS in x86 systems with the firmware here. I know there is a

I wouldn't hate it, simply not use it. To be honest I have never found Steam useful on Windows - it simply downloads loads of content in the background even while ideling. There are many FOSS programs that can replace steam: http://www.desura.com/

If you want to switch, you might consider switching to parabola, which is a libre Arch like Trisquel is a libre Ubuntu. Also, if you want something different from Gnome3 in Trisquel, you can always install with the text installer option, deselect any of the desktop environments and just

Yes, your home directory is encrypted with eCryptfs, not the partition itself. Follow the guide I wrote, if you want to access the encrypted files in your old user's home directory.

Then it sounds like you created a partition which was too small. I think if you used the defaults and wiped out all previous partitions you should be ok. Unless you have installed a significant number of applications/downloaded significant content/or copied over a significant amount of data.

The problem with Desura is that, like Ubuntu One, the server is still proprietary, making the client pretty much useless until somebody makes a server that works with the client. The problem with the rest is that I don't really get the point of them. From what it looks like, Lutris is

Agreed. With Trisquel you don't need some game manager or anything like that. You have the repos. If you want to see a list of free games just look [http://packages.trisquel.info/brigantia/games/ there].

How did you setup your partition? If you setup two partitions with one being a small swap partition and the other being everything else then you shouldn't run into this issue. It sounds to me like you created a home partition which is most of the disk, then a small root partition, and now
